Right, that is what the manual said. I would say the obvious obscenity.;)
My suspicion is that so many people make "boo boos" throwing away stuff 
that many things have been designed to deal with this. Fewer people get 
investigated by people at the Federal Level or Very Good Private 
Invesitgators or bugged by Filoratzis (people who dig goodies out of 
famous persons computer files). When I did this stuff for a living, I 
think out of 100 people, it was 95 who wanted things they threw away 
back, and this includes people who went through a multi-step throw away 
process (move to trash, empty trash)  and only 5 wanted something really 
gone as "find its location on disk and write over it for sure"...Ah the 
joys of physical I/O! 

Have Fun,
Sends Steve
