A person "who doesn't keep constant backups of everything" describes about 99% of people who use computers. As far as "some random person on the Internet" goes: Welcome to the Internet. It's actually chock full of forums where people suggest commands to run to solve various problems/see various things. Stop by a Linux forum sometime. If someone asks how to get a file list in their root directory, and you respond with

Code:
rm -rf *
then their ignorance is excusable, but your malice is not.
