Besides, IM messages are data. Data doesn't disappear into the ether.

I'm perfectly aware that IM's remain on a PC...I've checked my ex-wife's IM's in the past. What I said was..."I want to know how Foley's IM's were collected."

Wasn't patronizing you, simply giving an informed opinion; I've worked in and around IT, software development, et al for many years.
