Not directly related but as to the saving every piece of scarp -comment:
I've been reading and discussing about document management systems lately,
and one thing all our users who I've talked with say is they wouldn't like
it if they had to type in search words or select classifications for the
documents they enter in the system. Typical, yes, but then I realized that
maybe it wouldn't be just a bad thing to have the system be just so much of
a pain to use - because maybe people would then not store every little joke
email and funny image of a monkey dressed in womens clothing and all that
junk. Maybe a carefully balanced level of inconvenience in a storage system
(document management or whatever) would actually be a pretty clever
trick...

inflict unnecessary pain onto innocent (l)users )
