For example Pewter is a CSI city/state employee who is on the forum all hte time, when does he do his regular job? And if he does both, the taxpayers are fronting the bill for is 100,000 posts or ten years or whatever it is. This isn't right.

I think you may have missed my point. Jesse and Jim decided to go on this work-safe/family friendly crusade. All this heavy handed moderation and throwing people off the Forum because they're afraid THEIR VENDORS MAY LOSE BUSINESS...and it really doesn't matter. A company will or will not turn off access to the forum no matter what those two fools do to prevent it. The whole family friendly nonsense is Jesse's way of putting his fundamentalist Christian values into the forum. Parents will or will not keep an eye on their kids internet activities. Contrary to what they may believe, people really don't sit there and scrutinize Corvette Forum and walk away saying "Gee...what a lovely environment!" They just don't care that much. So my point is that they RUINED what was fun about CF and it was all unnecessary.

As far as spending time on the internet at work is concerned, if you have an open system, it's going to happen. I wouldn't want my employees to spend their entire day online. On the other hand, I wouldn't want them to feel so oppressed that they were afraid to check their personal Email. The smart employer finds a way to strike a balance, and generally speaking, the smart employee will appreciate that and do a good job. At least that's how I always was.
