You have the point there, Alan.
But as you said initially, those "clearence kid" and junior clerks are the people who make the kingdom running. Without them, no documents are properly distributed and placed, henceforth the engineers will have trouble in their work, sooner or later.
And who is going to put so much documents in the tables of those IAs?
By then, I believe that all those mundane jobs of naming and classification is the brick and mortar of this forum. For people of your experience and knowledge, this definitely means a chores too bland and boring, but I believe we have many newcomers who thrilled to know the very basic thing (names, classification, dhapur, etc) of their newly beloved acquired hobby.
And that is the level of junior clerk.
We can't have everybody to come into the kingdom and be the engineer, for instance. So those junior collectors will learn from naming and categorising keris, dhapur recognition, pamor works, besi types and perhaps even tangguh. When they have possess enough knowledge, they will get mature and start addressing more challenging questions as they do. And by that time also they will start to produce quality theory and discussion.
If all the forumers started to produce challenging threads with complex discussions, then we will start seeing less newcomers and shun away younger people from keris world.
Let the junior clerk do what they need to do, and encourage them to do more than that, so that they can move up to senior clerk, and above, step by step.
