I'm sure you're right, and not necessarily in any insidious manner. There's any number of entities that we won't actually purge when deleted from our system here. For example, when a sales rep wants to get rid of a Quote, we can't necessarily dump it, because we'll need a future record if there has already been a customer order placed against that quote. Sometimes the integrity of the system, and the ability to look at history in a (unfortunately necessary) CYA view, demands that some data be "deactivated" rather than deleted.
