Why do you always leave out the *good* parts of your stories! :-)
Oh, all right.
Once the boundary I had considered sacred had been crossed, I found it
harder and harder to refuse successive requests. Eventually I was
doing it for everyone; it was automatic. I even wrote a script for
it. It wasn't until a major conversion experience (deploying the
remote library in Atlanta) that I regained the capability to say no
with conviction, to stick to my guns. Now I've got 81 empty cells and
44 scratch volumes. I can reasonably hope that such sordid behavior
is permanently in my past.
