<div>I have found old threads on Discuss about purging the member shelves. The nb cycle of binge-purge-binge-purge is not healthy. A process COULD be setup to ensure people don't abandon their stuff. </div>

<div>This was one of the things my locker proposal tried to solve: making sure that the space had storage resources that were available, offered a degree of security, and explicitly maintained by a person rather than a group diffusion of responsibility.</div>

<div>Thanks for that, Al. If NB did <em>not </em>have an open door policy, i think that would reduce the need for locks. </div></span></div></div></div></blockquote></div><br></div></div>
