My one word response is chaos.
From a business perspective you could end up losing information you are required to keep for legal and regulatory reasons. And even if it is not needed from legal or regulatory perspective, think of the potential loss of the usefulness of the information that was gathered.

I have read the responses to my previous posing with interest. One of the fascinating intersections between records management and privacy is what happens when the creator rather then the receiver of the information is able to control the retention period. So I rather than the list serv becomes the one to decide how long this message is kept regardless of the list serv's retention policy.
What if users were able to do the same thing for information entered into a data base? Is this technologically feasible? I don't know but there is sufficient interest to support research on developing marketable tools to accomplish this objective. What happens to our retention policy if control over retention is ceded or shared with users?
