Can I just make a general request for a warning to be given regarding
any links to sites that could potentially cause a gatherer to end up in
deep shit with his employer!
I realise that in this case Tin Soldier did describe the site as
extremely disturbing and that should have given me pause - but I carried
on, thinking that it would possibly be a political commentary site. From
what I could gather (as I frantically scrambled to close down the
browser window and a few other automatically opened windows) this is a
porn site.
I have no problem with porn and I don't want this list to be censored in
any way but a warning like "in the privacy of your home" would stop
numbskulls like me from making a potentially career-limiting mistake!
The issue of material unsuitable for the workplace has been in the news
lately here in Australia. A bloke is being threatened with termination
from his govt dept for receiving and forwarding jokingly risque email
material (at worst soft porn). The emails happened quite some time back
and the bloke deleted everything but the stuff was still on a network
server somewhere. The govt dept recently brought in new guidelines and
penalties for this type of material and they are retrospectively
applying them to these old emails they dredged up. 
 
 
 
Basically thats one of the reasons why I only lurk on the gathering now,
because I have to do it at home, where I used to read all the emails at
work.
There is too much talk of copying music, which my employer did not like,

Dont mind the talk, just got to do it outside of work.
 
so hence my lurker status
