When you are at work, the computers are *theirs*, the network is *theirs, the internet access is *theirs*, your time is *theirs*. So long as there is not a camera in the bathroom, they have the right to monitor their equipment, and their dollars and cents. Surfing the internet while on the job is no better than watching soaps or calling your best friend for hours on end whilst working. It is theft, as they are not paying you to play on the internet. Unless, of course, they are paying you to play on the internet, in which case, you have nothing to worry about and need not be anonymous (and where do I apply?)

I would also like to add that, when someone posts "anonymously" with respect and politeness, that is one thing. To hide behind anonymity in order to post something nasty is sheer cowardice. Why should the owners of this site have to be accomplice to that if they do not wish to?
