I can recount a similar story to Steve's. When I worked at Yale, a 
particular office (which shall go unnamed) would use it's old/obsolete 
records as fuel for fire during the winter. The office, in a Gothic style 
building, had a large reception area, much like a great hall, with a great 
big hearth, which they used to warm the space. One day a stranger came in 
with a singed record documenting a student saying that he saw it fall to 
earth on the New Haven Green. What happened is the warm air lifted some of 
the papers up the chimney an into the air above New Haven, where it 
floated about a half mile before it fell back to Earth. The office learned 
its lesson, sort of, and stopped dumping records in the hearth as the 
cheap way to destroy them. Like Steve said, you get what you pay for and 
cheap does not equate with economical.
