Steve -

Thanks, and I appreciate your insights and experience. I was surprised at your original comment, and felt that perhaps I was endangering the bank's applications. Good to find out that I'm not betting my job on a known no-no.

And no, I never keep more than 7 days of stuff in any one file. I consider myself conservative as well, even paranoid. I act as though my fellow IT workers (especially "superusers") are my biggest danger.
