:enough to raise network traffic enough to detect, even with hundreds of

So obviously you don't need a network for whatever the hell it is you
do.

:I *am* them, dumbass. I've seen the research that shows that letting

:personal email, or hitting a forum or usenet, actually makes them more 
:productive, as they have less incentive to take time off from work to 
:handle personal issues (not to mention morale issues).

So what are you so defensive about then, dip****?

How'd you get a book up your ass so you could see it?

You're too stupid to be on Usenet, sonny.

In case you didn't notice it, you lot just started crossposting this
little food fight of yours outside whatever Ghu-forsaken group morons
like you stem from.

Just because you wish you had a dick for other men to suck doesn't
mean you do ... or they will.

:Smart employers don't give a **** what their employees do, so long as 
:it's legal and reasonable, on their lunch hour, including posting to 
:usenet. But smart companies *do* care about employees installing software

:employees using Outlook or Outlook Express for *any* purpose, since it is

:bug-ridden ****. That means that usenet is OK, but not a usenet client, 
:which leaves limited (and, frankly, broken) options like DejaGoogle.

Sorry to hear you're a moron.

As someone else noted, most real companies load Outlook and/or Outlook
Express routinely.

:Fact is, 'tard-boy, you're wrong, and obviously wrong, in a "completely, 
:totally full of ****" sort of way. Get over it, son, and move on.

Oh, I see.  Why don't you crawl back under your bridge, find your
tweezers and magnifying glass, and go back to playing with yourself
and leave the sane people alone?
