Rule #42
Do you send a ‘For the record’ email when you disagree?
  v4.0 Posted at 19/04/2011 12:54 PM by system
When you disagree with something, you must send an email to the person you disagree with and CC all the people involved, because:
  1. Later down the track you can say: "I told you so" ;-)
  2. People read it later, after they cooled down from the meeting, and see it as useful input.
"I knew it, we should never have used Silverlight for the Northwind project. "
Bad example
"For the record, I disagree doing the Northwind Project in Silverlight, I recommend doing it in Flash, because ...."
Good example
Start your email with the words “For the record,” so that you can find it more easily in the future.
