You should consider knock-on effects of this brilliant idea. Now there would be copies of spreadsheets younger than a month that get replicated 47 billion times, exponentially compounding the problem you're trying to solve.
replyThis sounds like how we pass so many stupid laws. Nobody thinks about 2nd order effects.
So you're saying they should further auto-delete after two or three months?
reply3rd order effect, people copy and paste the old sheet into a new sheet, now we have worse exponential. You’re not very good at this huh.
replyWhich is very annoying and people will complain. People complaining can be then directed towards a better solution. As a bonus, mistakes will also rise, leading to further complaints, especially ones that reach higher. All this making the dogshit practice, and the idiots committing them, infinitely more visible and thus fixable.
replyThe sheer volume of data that needs tending to may even grind certain departments to a halt! What a great opportunity! It'd appear I'm positively stellar at this!
