It makes sense to me that in the normal conducting of one's daily affairs, one shouldn't leave stuff around which could be mis-interpreted in a damaging way -- Murphy's law still holds. How many people send an e-mail augmenting an earlier oral discussion, which taken by itself could be interpreted quite differently, depending on the knowledge the reader has of its context? I've discussed meeting at a restaurant at five, found them booked, and sent an e-mail saying "Five won't do. Make it six." I'm sure many could interpret this e-mail is proof of a bribe or kickback if it was creatively presented in court. It's the DOJ's duty to find and present evidence. It isn't Microsoft's duty to create a trail leading to a destination they've never visited. Advice to Ceasar's wife: You not only need be free of guilt, you need to also appear free of guilt. Microsoft is free of guilt, but perhaps fails the 'appearance' test. The trial must establish guilt, not the appearance of guilt. Just Sunday morning musing, PW.
