Document retention policy...

from Slashdot today, they had an interesting discussion on "document retention policies". Some people will say that it's a way to destroy incriminating evidence, and some say it's just business as usual.

I have to say that one way to really bug a company and make them waste time is to ask them to produce all sorts of documentation for a lawsuit. At that point everyone has to stop working and has to look for every little email or document that relates to the lawsuit. It's a great way to kill productivity!
