Ok so the default setting doesn't do anything unless the library has a special
cron job set up.  Is that in the manual somewhere?

Also, it seems to me that the language is a bit confusing.  The way you've
explained it, I would think the real default setting is forever because forever
is what is going to be used unless the library sets up a special cron job to
delete specific things, or the patron chooses to delete everything.

Maybe the choices should be Keep All, Keep Selective, Delete All.  Or something
like that?

A few other ideas:  
- We could make a new system preference that allows libraries to choose what
they want the default privacy setting to be for new patrons.  Maybe they want
to keep everything or delete everything for all new patrons by default.
- We could also make a system preference that allows libraries to choose what
privacy choices their patrons can have (i.e., if they're not going to set up
the special cron job, then they should be able to remove that option from
showing up in the OPAC since it doesn't do anything).
