Because of the considerably large size of the webcam archive I am
conscious of the amount of free space left on /home (firstly to make sure
I don't cause it to fill and secondly to make sure there's enough space
left to capture webcam images---they might sound like the same thing but
they're not quite, in my consideration). Anyway, /home usage does go up
and down (obviously) and quantities of 100Mb or more come and go
quickly. 62Mb is lower than usual, but it's been lower than that
recently and higher than than recently. Your points still stand, but let
it be known that free space has been going in the upward direction as
well as the downward direction, so it's probably the dormant users,
not the active users, who need the most reminding.[1]

[1] This probably isn't the point I'm trying to make, but hopefully you
see where I'm coming from or going too (not sure which direction it is
myself :-P
