If you've ever worked for a large corporation with project deadlines and milestones to meet, you know that there's lots of non-essential stuff that gets lost in the shuffle. It's not a government lab where they have all the time (and taxpayer money) on earth to dot the i's and cross the t's. They had to answer to _management_, not a bunch of CC enthusiasts. I know from experience that this is how BIG company projects work. I can assure you, management didn't give a wet slap about preserving the sparring logs. When you are under the gun to get something out the door by a certain date, you shed all the weight you can to get there on schedule and under budget with a working product. >Regards, >Peter
