Yeah, it's amazing what some people don't care about.  I left when it  
was decided that it would be cheaper to settle any potential lawsuits  
than buy a J2EE container with two-phase commits to avoid a chance of  
medication errors.

My argument at the time with regards to e-mail was to store the  
messages encrypted on disk and have them by default be encrypted to  
the employer's key rather than just leave them plaintext on disk for  
anybody who can steal the hard drive or break the system to read (the  
concern was auditability).  "Crazy talk"
