Emails from the closet

I was pretty amazed, and then horrified, by the recent recovery of an Infocomm shared drive backup.

Very interesting reading, especially if you played any of the Infocoom games (Zork, HHGTTG etc). However I know I wouldn't want my corporate emails dug up and displayed nearly 20 years after the event. This is not because they are machiavellian and/or nasty, but just because what I said in private to one person 20 years ago was meant to stay, well, private and 20 years ago.

The original author's have turned up in the comments and are unimpressed.

This sort of stuff is far more dangerous than newsgroup ranting/posting, embarrassing facebook photos, or weird blog postings from your emo/goth/etc phase. That stuff you intended to be public, even if you didn't intend it to be public, backed up, and then displayed as a corporate screensaver 20 years later.

PS No, not that closet. The orange one on the left.
Edit: "not" added. FFS.
