I'll bet the farm that someone is already saying "I warned you," and I bet they have the email to prove it. I feel sorry for the recipient/s.
Slightly off topic but a close friend of mine was heavily involved in the Millennium Dome project and as it got ever closer to Dec 31st 1999, panic set in and all sorts of technical and safety rules and regulations went out the window as well as some of the financial control.
She is convinced that one day there will be a proper audit of what happened and she has copies of 15,000+ e-mails on a hard drive somewhere just in case.
Some of these e-mails actually say "You do know that what you are proposing is actually illegal, don't you?"
