Hello All.

I think, this message from area COMP.OS.OS2.ADVOCACY seems to be interesting:

-> A common tactic
-> large companies is to throw paper at the investigators.  IBM did this
-> they were being investigated in the 1980s.

It was during the late '60s and early '70s.  The DOJ forbade IBM from
disposing of ANY documentation, including all notes, letters, memos,
etc. from IBM US employees.  The contents of our deskside trashcans were
carefully bagged and saved.  I suppose they eventually wound up in a
government warehouse.  My colleagues and I were astounded that the DOJ
issued the "save all documentation" order.  The paper avalanche that
resulted was not because IBM wanted to inundate the DOJ, but because
the DOJ didn't know what their request would produce.  The DOJ order was
rescinded after a few months and our trashcans reverted to being
trashcans again.
