Donald, I do recall asking a respectful question but have not seen a response on it. Would you care to respond? I am including the text from the OP.  I think this would be a great discussion to have.

In reading the post, I followed the link and looked around the site.  While reading the 8 Rules for Next Generation Records Management, the very first rule.
Rule 1 -"Debating whether an item of information is a ‘record’ or ‘non-record’ is no longer relevant. E-discovery makes all recorded information – regardless of format – a ‘record’"
IMO, I have to disagree with for the following reasons:
1-If it isn't requested in a lawsuit it is not a record(unless it fits the definition of a record).
2-e-discovery does not make all recorded information a record, it may have the potential but it doesn't do it.  E-discovery and the eventual churning through of data doesn't make everything responsive.
3-And I believe it is relevant to discuss.
I would like to know the rationale behind that rule.

Respectfully,

Glen

(I will, of course, continue to reply to any respectful questions or comments, however.)"
