I really dislike the term "forever" in relation to records retention.  Permanent is permanent.   Forever has no place in RIM retention policy...; perhaps the term is best used in fairy tales and romantic poetry.


<snip>I asked him about that.  He said 
that while they may debate about what should be permanent, permanent means 
forever.  He was very definitive about it.  I thought that was 
interesting.  I'm not sure anyone quite knows how to store records forever, 
particularly electronically.<snip>
