This is a silly policy, and one that will waste your time and other
peoples time. If you are reading newsgroups, it is essential to have
access to deja news. If your company is deathly afraid that you might
spend time looking at "Live XXXX Girls" etc, there are tools to limit
Web access to limited sites :-)
