Thanks!
It is a bit more nuanced than the article states (as I wondered)...
"Every such broker and dealer shall preserve for a period of not less
than 3 years, the first two years in an accessible place:..."
"Originals of all communications received and copies of all
communications sent by such member, broker or dealer (including inter-
office memoranda and communications) relating to his business as
such."

I wonder what is "accessible" and who decides that?!

I don recall if it is by medium or content, but you can look at the
regulations at:
SEC Rule 17a-3: http://www.law.uc.edu/CCL/34ActRls/rule17a-3.html and
SEC Rule 17a-4: http://www.law.uc.edu/CCL/34ActRls/rule17a-4.html
