My experience is that the continuiuiuiuum model may be a useful tool for 
RM folks, but end users, who earn the money to pay the salaries of RM 
folks, are not interested. They do understand the concept of life cycle 
(explains retention and disposal), and half life (explains when to move to 
secondary storage). They also understand that life cycle is a 
generalisation and there will be variations and exceptions in specific 
cases. 

Valid though the continuum model may be, and useful though it may be for 
me, in planning and managing, it is too specialised for our customers.

Maybe it's (wait for it, drum roll . . . ) too academic? 

Cheers

These views are mine alone. They may or may not be those of any
previous or present employers or clients. I don't know. If I'd asked
and they'd agreed, I would have signed it "Harry Peck and Co and
Glenn". Or whatever. But I haven't, so I didn't.
