Ever heard of version control and backups?

If you really want retrievability, consider using version control and doing nightly backups. Version control for the stuff you actually change (instead of just create and delete), and backups for everything (including your version repositories). It's far more robust than just a silly trash can.
Sure, a trash can might save you from silly typoes in an rm command... but it won't save you from editing mistakes or file overwriting.
Actually, there are relatively few hard numbers about pagans, for the simple reason that most pagans don't want there to be any. It's easier to avoid persecution if you don't tell people who your friends are. We don't want to be numbered and counted, and it's all too easy to see some group like the Promise Keepers decide that all pagans have failed the covenant with God and must be forcibly converted.
For the record, I am pagan. I live with another pagan and a christian mystic. I can easily get in contact with a few dozen pagans, should I ever feel the need. I know how to find pagans in most any city (just contact the Masons or the Unitarian Universalists or COG and ask... they'll be able to direct you, if you seem to have good reason for seeking).
I'm pagan. Heaviest influences from wicca, qaballah, and ceremonial magic. Some influences from unitarian universalism, the society of friends (commonly known as quakers), catholocism, judaism, and zen buddhism. I cannot (and would not) claim any particular tradition or following, because I walk a path of my own definition.
I believe in magic... for some definitions thereof. I don't believe in throwing lightning bolts or unassisted human flight or anything like that, but I do believe in the ability of the mind to manipulate reality (and people's perceptions of reality) through poorly understood means. I use magic to help create or combat the sorts of 'oogie' feelings that seem to be associated with places and people. I bless people. I ward places. I clean up stray energy so that it doesn't bother folks. I encourage people to believe in their ability to heal. I pay attention to people's moods, and the atmosphere they create with them.
The purpose of religion is to give a framework for dealing with the things that we do not have the time to understand fully. I cannot explain what the purpose of life is, but religion gives me a way to enjoy and celebrate the twists and turns it brings. I revere the cycle of life, its beginning, growth, and ending so that other life may go on. I revere the flow of thought and feeling from one person to another, and the structures which are erected to channel and strengthen such communion. I glory in the beauty of the universe, and I try to find the beauty in everything.
I'm far from surprised to see so few people expressing their beliefs here; the first few posts clearly demonstrate that most folks posting cannot help but judge based on their preconceptions, despite being asked not to.
