Yeah and if I created this thread I'da been permanently banned, forcing me to use a proxy just so I can come back and visit.

I don't know why people feel this way, you aren't the first to make the claim. I'd state that it is far from the truth since we spend exhaustive time and staff resources to ensure that the individual is well received here.

This topic isn't a comfortable discussion for staff because most people can't seem to understand the difference in taking care of something and just accessing information for personal gain/reasons. They get emotionally involved in the "right to privacy" and not in the logistics of running and operating a privately owned space.

People have created such threads for the years we've been around. Since I installed the anonymous function, people have decried it, while others praised it.

I'm currently working on a man's laptop removing some spyware. He was kind enough to tell me that he's got some pr0n on his machine, gay pr0n. I told him that I didn't care what it was, I was interested in removing the virus. Meanwhile, knowing what I know about computers, I could easily discern and snoop about. But why? It's just more time I'd have to spend on his stuff, instead of finishing and moving onto the next task, or even going home instead of staying longer at the office.
