No disrespect Robert--am I just being naïve again, or is this absurd?  Can't we just rely on the definition we'd find in any dictionary?  Why do people have to take a nice word like "forever" and abuse it?  If the legislatures in California and Virginia decided forever means 500 years, then why can't the retention period be "500 years?"  It's not like people won't have time to change their mind!
