While I do understand your point of view, I still keep in mind the ROI point of view (if we treat having archivist on duty as "sort of investment"). I haven't seen any potential benefit (let's keep the "sort of investment" terminology) from keeping formats more consistent (kind of accusation from the original post). And believe me or not - while I was making recently some stats about active members of our assotiation just for last 10 years (1/3 of our history), I was astonished by number of ways the data were provided during those _recent_ years. Been there recently, the same way, I suppose, Shane was. Piotr -- Piotr Strzyżewski Silesian University of Technology, Computer Centre Gliwice, Poland
