I think we're closer in thought than I figured. Many of the customers probably do step over the line.

Burned by my own long windedness again I guess.
I wasn't making them parallel, just pointing out that preservation is important even for common items. While I can't come close to what a real archive can do, I do what I can within budget.
The rest gets like one of those unanswerable questions. If the right thing is done for the wrong reason is it still wrong?
I think we're also not so far apart here. I can appreciate the act, but not the intent. I also have few illusions about that intent.
I do wish I could express complex things briefly and effectively.
