Re: Blocking Offensive Material(??) with Firewall

["Tim Kramer" <tkramer () irt net>]

I agree.  It's amazing what a public hanging (of a career)
will do to your employees' surfing profile.

I currently manage firewalls for two organizations.  One has
a written policy which everyone reads and signs.  The other
apparently doesn't.  Both have had incidents where someone
spends most of the workday surfing "inappropriate"sites.
 Guess which site has only had one incident in the last year?
