How could one be loosing his/her data?

One of the blogs I try to read regularly is FavBrowser. No doubt, it has good content. You should follow it if you are interested in news and stuff related to web browsers, though it is, by no means, the source all the interesting news.

Anyway, so I was reading this article today, posted on FavBrowser, and here's something interesting I found (pay close attention), and I quote:
Firefox uses SQLITE databases to store lots of its settings. By the time the databases grow and Firefox starts working slowly. SpeedyFox compacts those databases without loosing any data.
So I said to myself, "Must be just another copying mistake", so I headed over to the source to verify, and I quote again:
Firefox uses SQLITE databases to store lots of its settings. By the time the databases grow and Firefox starts working slowly. SpeedyFox compacts those databases without loosing any data.
Turns out, they had quoted it from their own source, and I quote once again:
Firefox uses SQLITE databases to store lots of its settings. By the time the databases grow and Firefox starts working slowly. SpeedyFox compacts those databases without loosing any data.

The funny thing is, I've also quoted it without any modifications/corrections but I hope the message has been conveyed :-)
