Oh goodness! And to whom to we get to attribute that new quote? Is it one of yours?

That is so right-on. I used to say something staid like, 'email is supposed to be a communication channel and not a de-facto recordkeeping system' but this cuts right to the chase. Seriously, who do we credit with this new axiom because I am going to be using it a lot from now on.

Folks,

Hard as it will be for John to believe, this is my creation. I came up with it all of a sudden while talking to a lawyer about records management yesterday. Seemed appropriate, and it was a good laugh line!

Oh, not surprised at all. I would expect nothing less from you. You're all about the good laugh lines.
