How many people keep IM records? What systems actually record them? Why would anybody want to record them?

Every IM program I've ever used allows the option of saving chat logs. They're quite useful if you hate taking notes during a "conversation", but want to go back and reference the "conversation" later, such as getting directions, recipes, etc.

The point is: Who would IM with pornographic discussion and save them? Unless it was to use them against the other person?

Foley's homosexuality was known. Could the pages have been contacted by someone to keep track of their IM messages with the congressman? I don't think it takes a tinfoil hat to imagine that happening. There's lots of intrinsic intrigue in DC anyway.

Mine sure doesn't! If I want to save an IM I have with my folks, I have to cut 'n paste to a text file. Manually.
