Also, if you do *test* runs, use *test* data if at all possible. In a big 
organization, I wouldn't trust every employee with sensitive, confidential 
information unless there is an explicit *need to know*.

In the Boston Globe case, there is an element of professionalism amiss here. 
It seems to me pretty darn tacky to use test printouts for wrapping paper. 
It shows no one cares a hoot about their image there. 

I guess the Globe should prepare itself for a rash of lawsuits and the like. 
What will they resort to next? Using "test" printouts of live confidential 
data as toilet paper?

This sounds like a job for - Stupidman, the man of steal!

Sorry, couldn't resist the "Boston Globe == Daily Planet" implications...
