Since there hasn’t been any discussion of E-mail servers in the last five minutes:

After tonight’s village board meeting was over, I approached the county prosecutor/village attorney and asked what I should do with my official E-mail saved on my computer. I have several thousand E-mails sent from my private computer—wife’s Webhosting server to state government officials, him, other people associated with state government to and from me, &c. (I even have an invitation to the governor’s inauguration ball coming up in January—I’ll pass, Gov. Ricketts, thanks.)

He said there’s no need to keep them and I can simply erase them from my computer/my wife’s server.

He’s a nice guy, but he’s a Republican, and he’s a prosecutor. I’m thinking “no.” Burn them off to a CD or a flash drive maybe, or even print the whole slew of them and turn them over to the village clerk for public records, but wipe them out sounds too much like the GOP going after Hillary Clinton. (That, and I have a whole bunch of personal stuff on my computer and my wife’s server as well.)

I don’t think I need to turn over a record of my E-mail to my mother or the erotic Romance publisher I worked for, however.
