Files Discourage the Spread of Government Transparancy

All that extra work by our dedicated civil servants to create really big low
resolution unsearchable scanned image files from what appears to be low quality
print copy.

Ms. Shields complains the volume of e-mails consumes a lot of space on their e-
mail system. Not surprising since they have elected to archive really big low
resolution unsearchable scanned image files from what appears to be low quality
print copy.

All that extra work by our dedicated civil servants to create really big low
resolution unsearchable scanned image files from what appears to be low quality
print copy. All so entirely unnecessary when copies of the original electronic
versions of those same documents would have required NO WORK AT ALL.

Archiving these e-mails in their original electronic formats would reduce the size
of these files by 90% or more. This in turn makes it easier to distribute these
Public Documents which of course we re sure the DPH wants to encourage just like
