I had to clean out my dad's house after he died. When he knew he had cancer, he actually began to clean out some of the items, so apparently it wasn't even as bad as I had to work with. However, it still took me over two years to finally get rid of everything in a manner that I thought was respectful to his memory rather than just dumping everything wholesale. (And I did go through four dumpsters.) My dad didn't save exclusively papers. He had a million jillion parts and scrap repair supplies and he was a ham radio enthusiast who used to owned a store and continued to buy and sell out of his basement. Still, he did keep all of his tax records and a great many other things. They were the easiest items in his collection for me to dispense with. Anything more than seven years old can be thrown out indiscriminately. There will be no legal repercussions. (Unless he thinks he's going to get sued for sexual harassment and needs to present the old e-mails from his secretary, but c'mon...) --- Congratulations to all the gurus, past and present, participating in the contest.
