As I mentioned earlier in this discussion, logging is also useful with respect to the societal need for law enforcement (which is not a euphemism for anything!) and also with respect to the rights of victims of crime. I mention this again because these two items are always left of the list of reasons why logging is useful, just like you did in your email, but they’re really important ones despite their unpopularity. > We can say that the logs SHOULD be stored securely, and SHOULD NOT > be retained any longer than is needed for these purposes.
