Discuss the ramifications of the following statement: Once an email, instant message, text, or any other document leaves your hands, you have essentially published it.

As soon as a written document leaves your hands, whether electronic or hard copy, it has actually been "published." Anyone may read it, copy it, and distribute it to others. Many business and other writers fail to consider what can happen to their written words. A memo intended for a colleague is seen by the boss, an e-mail gets sent to the wrong person, or a letter to a customer is seen by a competitor. Sensitive messages that could cause trouble for you or your organization should probably not be put into print. Every message should be written with the knowledge that it may travel much farther than originally intended. Nothing can expunge a poorly written memo or an e-mail sent in anger.
