Bruce (etal),
I missed the discussion in September, so please forgive the re-hash here ...
A few of us have been having that same conversation off-list today. Personally, I'm a little steamed that ARMA put that on the Newswire without some sort of caveat/disclaimer/challenge/opposing point of view. I'm all for looking at all sides of an issue, however I don't think they have done our profession a service by sharing his point (in your words), "hey guys, don't listen to your records manager" without acknowledging that the article is contrary to what our profession believes is a more appropriate approach. For those new to our profession, it may prove to be a source of real confusion.
I agree that it is a golden opportunity for ARMA and hope to see the rebuttal soon!
And thanks for indulging my rant!

Subject: Re: RAIN 0926 Compliance Mistakes (Here we go again)
Back in September there was a somewhat lively discussion on the listserve about an article that PK posted on RAIN titled "Top 5 Strategic Email Compliance Mistakes."
(http://lists.ufl.edu/cgi-bin/wa?A2=ind0509d&L=recmgmt-l&F=&S=&P=8555)
Well, just so happens our friends in Lenexa decided it was newsworthy and published in the October 2005 NewsWire. If you haven't received a copy, believe you can find it on ARMA's website.
I am wondering whether their goal was to give this guy some credibility. Maybe the idea was in the name of fairness it was a good idea to publish a different point of view. I have a hard enough time convincing my IT and management that there is not solution to managing e-mail. Then this article pops up in an RM publication, essentially saying "hey guys, don't listen to your records manager." I'd be interested in knowing the reasoning for including it.
Anyway, ARMA has a golden opportunity, representing the RM profession, to right what I consider an error and challenge the author's position on e-mail management in public. Let's hope they do the right thing for all of us.
My two cents for what it is worth...
