Get your butt over here and fix my hard drive!

About a week an a half ago I received this thrilling email:
Please be advised that [random technology group acronym] has identified a potential problem with your desktop computer that requires your assistance. Your Compaq desktop contains a hard drive, which has been recalled by the manufacturer and is in need of replacement or proactive repair. This recall affects only those model desktops that have been identified to contain one of the following three types of hard drives.
� Fujitsu 10gig
� Maxtor Rigel 10gig
� Seagate Vail 10gig
The hard drive has been recalled or is in need of repair due to a higher than normal reported failure rate. Therefore, we are taking proactive measures to replace and repair these hard drives prior to failure.

So I copy of everything of value on my hard drive to the network.

Email received today (from person in same technical group with bizarre acronym):
You have exceeded your disk storage limits on the [whatever] network. Please move the following files [big list of large files] to your c:\ drive by Fri. They will be deleted for you on Fri. if you do not comply.

sincerely, the network nazi*

What the fuck? I think I’m entirely justified in replying: then get your butt over here and fix my hard drive!

* not his real name. This is not our first run in as I have tried to make him understand in the past that making people keep most information on their hard drives makes no sense as hard drives aren’t backed up, but the network is… but he won’t have any part of it.
