Reading these comments it makes me think that what is being show here in many of these responses is one of core issues with the software world at large. The issue is that of "It's not the way I do it therefore no-one should do it like that." If a person wants to hold on to and horde masses of data then that is their prerogative. To give suggestions on how one would do it from their own view is acceptable but to outright dismiss another persons wants and needs is very myopic. One could even view the building of the data storage systems as a hobby in itself and the act of doing so and documenting it will be of use to others, even in other industries. I know of some professional photographers who have really poor data setups as they are very not that tech savvy so linking them to an article like this is very helpful.
