I, for one, have my cookie in place both at home and at work, and post under my name (well, my pseudonym) from both places. And I know I'm not the only one to post from the workplace; in fact, I know of at least one guy who used to be a regular participant until he retired -- now we only hear from him once in a great while.

I've been repremanded on rare occasions when caught goofing off (not just frequenting this site, but checking personal email, general surfing, Googling, etc), but have never had any trouble over being registered as a member here or elsewhere, nor has said membership even been discovered. (I am a registered member of a couple of *work-related* forums as well; perhaps that serves as "camoflage" for my membership here.)

Of course, some of you guests may have tighter security at your workplaces, but -- for most if not all of you -- it might very well be feasible to sign up as members.

I first registered from home, and originally participated only at home. Only very gradually, as the addiction took hold, did I begin indulging my Mudcat habit at work. So I understand anyone's trepedation about signing up for the first time from the workplace; I probably wouldn't have done so myself, either. But I can offer my opinion, based on personal experience, that most anyone who spends the workday in front of a PC can *probably* get away with joining our little club.
