convince? ok, what was your answers? "I'm against it" "you'll loose your 
files" "memorize 16 extended ASCII random sequence and rent a safe into 
your bank to have a backup"

you won't convince someone that already decided, same as you end to jail 
because a cop decided you're the culpit...

end of discussion, there is nothing to add, the door was closed even 
before the asking, whatever I'll add as argument will be just lost of 
energy and time

thanks and regards
