I always carry on only, but if I'm gone for a long time or need a checked bag, I make sure to only check things that I can easily replace, and keep the most valuable/favourite things in my carry on.
Almost every Flyertalk thread revolves around the concept of responsibility. Some believe that when it hits the fan, responsibility is on the person/the customer/you/me. Some believe that the responsibility should be on someone else, the carrier, the organization, the employer etc.
There is no right or wrong answer here, just a belief as to which is right or wrong.
