This seems to be a rather strange position to take.

'Backup' the product, is part of the .mac package. It is not available 
(like all the other parts of a .Mac account) to people like me who 
don't want it.

You could say the same thing (just as inappropriately) about any or all 
of the .Mac features.

It is only equivalent to other products included with a .Mac 
subscription.

I don't understand your position at all.

There are other methods of backup you know.

 From Mac Help:

There are many applications and utilities you can use to back up the 
information on your computer. Three methods are available in Mac OS X:

	▪ 	Backup (a full-featured backup application for .Mac members)
	▪ 	Disk Utility (located in Applications/Utilities)
	▪ 	Finder (Burn Disc and Create Archive commands

Puzzled am I
