Don't tell that to my users, please.  By your definition, every
photocopy created is a record.  Every mail offer for a class in Project
Management is a record.  Every subscription offer for KM World is a
record.  Every e-mail wanting to sell me a Rolex for $12.99 is a record.
In short, every non-record is a record.  

Which gives users the mental justification they need to do exactly what
they want to do - keep everything.

Subject: Re: [RM] Information vs Content

Kelly, it depends on who is trying to sell you what system.  I am
serious.

A record is any information recorded upon any media.   Period.  End of
story.  

Some call it content; some may call it a document; some call it
unstructured data; some call it Ray; some call it Jay.  

Best regards, Steve
