Vicki's article is great as an overall understanding of how risk relates to
RIM, but I think it's Randy's article you;re remembering, but the
suggestions in it aren't without some "risk" themselves.  Careful
consideration needs to be given to applying advice given by someone you
don't have on retainer when it comes to accepting risk.... I've frequently
told people who are considering the purchase of a certain "canned product"
for researching retention requirements the same thing  =)

And this is nothing I didn't share with Randy directly after the article was
published, in fact, he asked for the comments.
