communications, people tend to be less formal about what they say in an email

crucial, just ask any one of the 85,000 people employed worldwide at the
prestigious accounting firm of Arthur Andersen! OOOps. You can't
ask them! They all lost their jobs! As discussed in a recent
Florida Bar Journal article: "The classic example is Arthur
Andersen's shredding of Enron-related documents. Several e-mails by Andersen's
employees candidly remarked and joked about the shredding of thousands of
crucial auditing materials. The result: Those e-mails surfaced, and today
Andersen no longer exists".<o:p></o:p></span></p>
