Post #122,915 by scoenye 10/27/03 10:16:30 AM Reply	Go look in the trash I have quite a few here that actually use the various Recycle Bins (filesystems, Outlook, ...) for storage. This despite the occasional accident and me telling them several times to put stuff anywhere but there. Even when I ask them if they keep their lunch in the dustbin as well, it simply doesn't click.

Post #122,920 by drewk 10/27/03 10:27:35 AM Reply	Seconded At the law firm, our email server was runing out of disk space. The admin discovered she could get back about 30% of that space just by auto-emptying everyone's trashcans. Next day, people started screaming for backups. They had whole directory structures built up in their trashcans. Because we didn't track that. Two users had over 10k messages in their trash. Most with attachments. Of multi-hundred page legal docs. "Boggle" isn't the word for it. === Implicitly condoning stupidity since 2001.
