OY WHAT A MESS! FOLEY COVERUP AND THE GAMBIT THAT EXPOSED IT
Susan, I agree that we should not generalize to all Republicans from this incident. There are a lot of good, moral Republicans in the world. However, there's nothing wrong with wanting the American people to get the full story before the election, so they can make an informed decision when they vote. Whatever your affiliation, isn't it better to get the truth out before the people make their choices? Everyone, left and right, should be united on recommending a swift, thorough investigation.

But how do you “save†an IM? I’m sure there’s a way to do it but it can’t be easy. A better question would be why hang on to the IM’s for 4 or 5 years?
Just to clarify my earlier post — if you turn on logging when you first install AIM (it may be on by default; I honestly don't know, as I use Adium), AIM will then save every message you send or receieve until you turn logging off. It's not a question of choosing to "hang on to" these particular IMs; AIM will do it automatically, without you thinking about it.

SteveAudio is correct — it's trivial to save IMs. If you've turned on logging, as many highschoolers do by default, every IM you send or receive is saved automatically, with usernames and timestamps intact. The pages wouldn't have needed to choose to save the IMs; they may have been saved with no specific action on their part.
