Obviously, I do not live in a locality that requires in any form these
insidious 'disclaimers'; however, since it has now become a requirement
in certain areas of the world, might it not be a wise decision to allow
or at least request that a user only be allowed to post to this forum
from his/her personal email account? One that does not require this
'disclaimer' nonsense. In my opinion, when someone is at their job,
they should not be investing company time on personal business anyway.
I know that belief is not universally embraced; however, as an employer
myself, I like to think that my employees are devoting at least a
majority of their time to company business. For the record, we do have
'monitoring software' installed. Who would have known that women enjoy
'porn' almost as much as men.
