GRIFFIN, J.,

dissenting.

In my view, there is more to judicial oversight of discovery than just protecting privileges or trade secrets. Issues of cost, burden, relevance and ulterior motives also require attention, especially when non-parties are involved. To do this accurately usually requires more time than trial judges have to devote to it. This ease appears to me to be an unhappy example.
