Baloney.
Fred is right. I used to work for Goldman Sachs & their internet usage polic stated that when you write to Internet or Usenet from a GS account, it will reflect on the firm no matter how you disclaim it.
Dr. Cohen is I believe maintaining it doesn't matter where you write from. Note that the Sun employee's message that sparked this was sent from a Netcom account.
If that's what Dr. Fred said, then I strongly disagree. (Sorry, I haven't been following what Dr. Fred said very closely. Can you blame me? :) Btw, Goldman has a very reasonable Internet use policy that encourages employees to get accounts on commercial internet providers. Btw^2, didn't Sun fire someone a couple of years ago for posting a homophobic joke to Usenet? --- Dr. Dimitri Vulis Brighton Beach Boardwalk BBS, Forest Hills, N.Y.: +1-718-261-2013, 14.4Kbps
