Exactly!!!  If every time a new brand comes along, records managers try to rebrand themselves; then you give up all the progress you made under the old brand.

Since ARMA refuses to be a bully pulpit for RM’s some group of RM’s must stand up each time and defend the flag. Otherwise the newby dilutes the brand.  Mountain Dew is fighting Red Bull and Red Bull fights and even stronger Caffeine drink.  Each one unhealthier than the last.

RM done right protects the host organism and E-Discovery is major surgery on the organism and if RM was done right the E-Discovery will show that the organism is healthy enough to survive the litigation. 

My analogy machine might be off.  I need a Mountain Dew.
