Somewhere in here there is a balance. And like my politics, I tend to prefer a middle-of-the-road approach to building a retention schedule. 
 
I think big buckets are great and bless those of you that can develop and use them. For my own company, we are far too diverse and the legal holds are too many . I want and need to be ultra-specific within a functional retention standard. I do not want outside counsel to have to think when they review our schedules, processes, or procedures. 
 
Good discussion.
 
Rock on!
