The problem is that Americans are sue happy. And there are too many Lawyers that don't care why people want to sue as long as they get their percentage of the profit.
Let me clarify. If offensive e-mails make it into the workplace and the company doesn't make a reasonable effort to shield you from this offensive material, then there is the potential of someone suing the company for permitting a hostile work environment. At least that is my theory. Freedom is relative to how much money you have. More money = more freedom. Freedom of the press is based on who owns the press. Our news is even biased because the owners of the media can fire people if they disagree with the statements made by the reporters or even if they present point of views that are not promoting the owners political point of view. More on subject. Your IT department needs to learn how to use filtering software if they can't set it to allow everything from listserver.u2ug.org. If they can't set it up to support the companies needs then they shouldn't be using it at all. Opinions are my own and should not reflect the option or views of my employer.
