It isn't necessary to wait that long for documents to fade away. I have seen cash register receipts from both Home Depot and Harbor Freight fade to nothingness in less than a year. Which wouldn't be a problem except one must present these same receipts in order to return any "lifetime guarantee" tools that did not, in fact, last a lifetime.
