Tom,

I think this may be a bad practice  You never know when in the future you 
may wish you had kept the neg.  

A story a friend told me once when I used to work with UPI was about a 
pro football player (may have been a pro golf player during the Masters 
10-15 years ago????  I forget.) who was killed in a car wreck, or some 
such incident, after a game.  They had a shot of him during the game, but 
had tossed it as it was not a "Keeper"  and ended up digging through the 
trash until they found it and transmitted it dust and all.  He said he 
learned to keep every frame after that.
