My one word response is chaos.

From a business perspective you could end up losing information you are 
required to keep for legal and regulatory reasons.  And even if it is not 
needed from legal or regulatory perspective, think of the potential loss 
of the usefulness of the information that was gathered.

I have read the responses to my previous posing with interest.  One of the 
fascinating intersections between records management and privacy is what 
happens when the creator  rather then the receiver of the information is 
able to control the retention period.  So I rather than the list serv 
becomes the one to decide how long this message is kept regardless of the 
list serv's retention policy. 

What if users were able to do the same thing for information entered into 
a data base?  Is this technologically feasible?  I don't know but there is 
sufficient interest to support research on developing marketable tools to 
accomplish this objective.  What happens to our retention policy if 
control over retention is ceded or shared with users?
