I completely agree, with ONE exception.  My girl friend (who is now my wife ;-), wasn't 'all that happy' with all the pictures/negatives I had of old 'girl friends' (thousands, mind you...of pictures/negatives, not girl friends...), so out of 'courtesy, and understanding', I 'got rid' of all of them.  Other than that, I still have every negative I ever shot since the age of 12...and that's a LOT of negatives!  A REAL lot.

I had a spat on the Hasselblad user's group once.  I was told I was 'being stupid'.  That would be compliment around this news group ;-)
