Frank, It is not necessarily paranoia. Some businesses prefer a tighter control over content than others. Many years ago I worked for a bank. We had a wonder USS10 Sign on screen (hand written 3270 Program). Then one day on 60-Minutes there was a segment on a business that got hacked. They were able to know who they had accessed because of the sign on Screen. The next day we had to yank it. This was before internet, during the days of dial up.
So if you company is concerned I would allow that it is important and to assist them with their request. I use a different ID for all of my newsgroups that does not track back to my company. Then hopefully I scrub my postings so a not to present a negative image to my corporation. If someone wants to contact me offlist, they can always email me direct. Just my thoughts.
