Re: E-mail

Thanks to everyone who replied to my e-mail post. They all helped 
quite a bit in my quest to at least have a policy. My boss thinks I 
may be worried a bit too much about things... but you know that when 
push comes to shove, and something happens, he'll blame it on me !! 

As for the sign of the times.... it is a shame that we all have to 
worry about "offending" someone.  I live in Ohio and just recently 
Miami University (Oxford, OH) had to change their mascot because it 
referred to a group of ethnic people.  My hometown uses "Redskins" as 
their mascot as well. In my days  (and it was 20+ years ago) it was suppose 
to be an honor, not something we used to "slam" those individuals 
heritage. Even today I see no hint of the community making fun of 
those individuals.  

When men and women have to watch every word they say so they can 
avoid sexual harrassment charges, is a shame.  When an employer has 
to be so careful of the questions he asks a potential employee to 
avoid a discrimination suit is so absurd.  I know we have some 
unethical people, and like everything else, laws are there for the 
small % of people, it sure makes our lives difficult.

I could go on and on.. I need a discussion group to vent about 
another topic, but that's way off the Midrange topic..

Again, thanks, I've got a 2 page draft of a policy that I'll show my 
boss and let it go up the ranks. I'll  have all of your responses 
in hand when they want to know "what everybody else it doing, or 
thinks" 

have a great weekend !!
