You do keep regular backups do you not?...

Whatsabackup?  :-)

I back up things that are non-replacable.  Backing up more than the bare 
necessities of non-replacable files is just not cost effective enough 
for me at this stage of the game.

I prefer the advantages of a good file system and a thorough backup 
strategy.

Been hammering ReiserFS for many months now with nary a problem other 
than reckless stupidity on one or two occasions. Reiser recovered with 
hardly a hiccup.

Oh, I didn't say I had had any problems with it.  This ReiserFS 
partition here is getting close to its first birthday, I think.  It has 
survived at least one OS rebuild and is getting close to being resized 
for the first time.  It's still plonking away just fine.  :-)

A friend, however, had a drive start to go bad and lost his whole 
partition real quick.  He did have backups, of course, but backups are 
never perfect.
