> *does the entire ARMA organization (records management professionals) have
this
same difficulty in determining what a record is / is not, or should be /
should not be?*

I think what you're really seeing is a debate about the responsibilities and
limitations of organizational units regarding the management of information,
all bound up into differing views of what the term "record" means to those
responsibilities and limitations.  Rigidly defining the term (or even
abandoning it completely) still would not end the debate - though it might
make it clear to newcomers just what the debate really is about:  Who is
responsible for managing what kinds of corporate information during what
parts of its lifecycle, and how?
