    So you’re saying that governments should waste tax payer money on something that has no real benefit just because it can?

    I guess you also want to keep them longer than 150 years?;I mean it would be crack head behaviour to throw them out right? Why not convert the whole country to warehouses and store every document ever made?

    They’re just old legal documents, interesting to have a copy for future generations but in no way worth the huge waste of money storing them would be.

      Stopped reading there.

      No. I’m saying what was in my comment. The right interpretation for what I say is the one I already gave you.
