Subject: Re: Save your transaction numbers! (Koenig, RISKS-24.80)

Andrew Koenig's story of a bank transaction he couldn't prove it occurred
illustrates the need for keeping logs (including voting records) in a
human-accessible format.  I always print the transaction's final screen when
I perform an electronic payment.  I never analyzed why I needed to do that,
it just seemed right to me.  Banks, which have lot of experience in keeping
track of money, keep a paper trail for all their transactions: they have me
sign paper slips in duplicate at the teller, and even the ATM has a second
printer in its housing logging all transactions on a paper roll.  Reports
regarding the demise of paper are greatly exaggerated.
