While I respect opinions, I seek facts here. Out of respect for those who may have useful information and strong opinoins on this issue:
1) I'm sure the employees and potential employees realize that if they want to surf the net at work, they should work elsewhere. I'm equally as sure that if they do not intend to surf, they will not mind having the functionality on **their employer's computer** blocked that allows only surfing.
2) While email is required to fulfill these folks job, surfing websites is not required and is not allowed. I see no reason anyone should have to pay to manage an activity that is prohibited should there be a simple remedy that disables it.
