Maybe go back and re-read the comment, it's pretty obvious, but I can spell it out for the language challenged. He has photos that since some shouldn't be put on a public photo site, and since sorting them out isn't easy, a local hard drive based solution is still preferable for him. I should think a lot of people are in this place. They don't want their children on the web, or their girlfriend. I realize this country was founded by religious zealots he'll bent on eliminating any fun, but it's a fact of life that a lot of people have naked photos!

We, "language challenged" don't need it spelt out thank you, we got it the first time.

It's not what the comments says we find problematic, is why he deemed it relevant to say it. I mean since it goes without saying that this situation applies to some people, and that not everybody can share everything in Flickr.

It's like posting on an article about a cool new email client, and somebody commenting "Alas, I can't use this for everything I mail, because a lot of that are physical packages, not just emails". Well, duh!

Well, that was not my issue with his comment. For one, I could not care less -- I'm from another country, and I won't even raise an eyebrow for people having naked photos (or any kind of fun for that matter).
