...I disagree with Steve, as it is the job of the storage administrators to push on end users to take ownership of their data....
I agree with you (i.e. disagreeing with Steve), but only as regards the users in my current company with respect to the way we currently do business. Where I agree with Steve is that in a different company with different users, doing business according to a different model, it may well be appropriate to tell storage admins to just deal with it. This is precisely one of those areas that demonstrate there is no one right answer.
The storage administrator is merely trying to impress upon the user to keep their hard drives clean and organized just as a manager would impress upon them to clean up their cubicals!
Not necessarily the best analogy; my desk's an absolute disgrace (precisely because I'm too busy working to spend time on tidying....) Ho, hum. :ermm:
