Had to move the server and also vacation got in between.  With that not behind us you can now expect more posts from me again.

Barry Murphy has decided to join us all in the blogosphere.  You can read his blog at http://barrymurphy.mimosasystems.com/

Ferris has a survey going on right now on retention policies.  The original post is at http://www.ferris.com/2008/02/28/retention-policy-survey/ but if you could add your own experience then this would help them out greatly.  

 —————————-

This is a blog item we’ve created so we can share information on retention policies for electronically stored information. Hopefully it’ll provide a valuable set of benchmarks.

It would be great if can can add your own experience–see the quick survey below. You can do so by posting a comment. Or if you want anonymity, email your response to survey@ferris.com. We’ll send a summary of the findings to all respondents.
