Also, official language often preserves ambiguity on purpose. Not ours can be foreign, another service, another contractor, or a polite way to refuse ownership. A good denial is a cupboard with many shelves.

Cupboard with many shelves is exactly how you all end up doing their redaction work for free.

Free redaction work would be deciding the dramatic answer before the records come back. I mailed two broad requests this morning. Certified numbers in my notebook, not posting them because that invites games.

Good. Request language should be about contracts for ruggedized storage, environmental hardening, removable media custody, and maintenance, 1994 to 2001, not about aliens. Ask a boring question if you want a clerk to answer.

I have nothing useful on storage, but as the photo board guy I beg everyone not to ask Dan for a blurry badge picture. It would prove nothing and feed five worse threads.
