You're going to be talking to a judge about this, and no, they won't be happy.
And there won't be a damn thing that they can do about it either unless they can PROVE you were aware of THE (as opposed to a hypothetical one) investigation.
Wow. You're seriously in denial, you know that?
Hint: The cites BU provided are *REAL*. This actually happens, routinely.
Yes, the cites are real. Yes, every(!) one of them requires 'intent' to be linked to the article in question and the potential of a future legal action. In every cite that BU provided you'll find additional material if researched which provides proof of 'intent' with respect to the 'loss of evidence'. In other words, it wasn't a matter of policy per se, but rather an intentional use of policy with respect to a SPECIFIC piece of evidence. BU's argument falls down when the policy applied to ALL 'evidence'. A MAJOR distinction. No, it isn't routine by any definition. I'd be surprised if it was in the double digits percentage wise. -- ____________________________________________________________________ Nature and Nature's laws lay hid in night: God said, "Let Tesla be", and all was light.
