Destroy your sigils?, Do you or don't you? Options

This has been a hot topic among some of the area sigilizers in my town.
Do people here destroy their sigils after their "mission" has been completed?
I have always felt that when the goal has been acheived that I should destroy the sigil that i created. If it is one i am especially proud of I might take a picture or a scan before disposing of it. If their is not a clear end to it purpose(as in perhaps ("this sigil is to encourage my creative nature") I will keep it. IF it has an end to it's use (this sigil is to aid in the acquirement of "specific object or idea") i will burn it when this goal is acheived. Afterwards I feel that the sigil and it's energy is then cleared for my mind. In some ways it works as both a physical and mental banishment, leaving my mind clear for new projects. Ultimately I think anyone can do whatever they want with their sigils but I am wondering what members here do?

Classifications are endless... I'll bear the servitor/egregore distinction in mind for clarity's sake.

I agree about fiction contributing to the 'true name' idea being easily accepted into a belief structure (although the idea itself is present in various mythologies). Most conditioning/learning can be put to good magickal use.

Not sure I agree about the positive re-enforcement; it depends on whether or not the creator needs to sustain the entity consciously. I sometimes do this by offering incense, though normally simply recognising it as present&active is enough.
