However, there were certain docs and pictures that were just too corrupt to recover, IYKWIM.

Are you saying you deliberately "lost" documents and/or photos belonging to someone else because you found them offensive?

Careful now. This was in the days of DOS and I was truly a wizard among mortals. Back then I even knew more than my kids. ;')

Understand that when one searches through the descendants documents there may be items found that are not appropriate to present to a grieving family.

As a counselor, in the course of searching for a LW&T you may find photos of Mr. Smith in flagrante delicto with either Mrs Smith or not-Mrs Smith (it really doesn't matter).

Those things are simply inappropriate to present to a family especially before the funeral.

Now go back to the days when being gay was not a social statement (this is Texas). Are you going to present a family and his life partner with multiple photos of Joe being inappropriate with many nameless faces? Or to print out a screaming screed blaming a parent or lover for all of life's ills, and this painful death?

Be careful what you wish for. As a volunteer I tried to balance discovery with tact, especially when having HIV was a painful death sentence.

I certainly do not have all the answers but I do my best.
