Seems to me that no matter how many times you explain the point you were
trying to make, it seems to get missed entirely. Anyhoo, to show you that
your point WAS received by some of us, let me have a go at it : Public
networks can and should be used by anyone, even during work hours, provided
: 1) the mandate of the job is specifically to provide that type of liason
with the tech and user communities (e.g. PR/marketing/sales or support
people), or 2) time spent (as a percentage of total pay period) does not
exceed an amount compatable with their employment mandate. In other words,
it would be good to have a couple of people whose primary job was to
interface with the public via public nets, but all others shouldn't be
spending a vast amount of company time doing so. I think we all agree that
what they do after hours is their own business. How's that?
