I hope you are joking? If not, do you carry your argument to its logical conclusion? What I mean is, if you feel we can't justify spending some time and very little money on reading news I hope you also have cut out ALL coffee breaks during working hours, talking to your co-workers on subjects not neccessary for the job, going to the toilet, etc. You may feel that this is going to far, but where is the difference? All the mentioned activities, plus many more we take for granted, cost our employers money without giving any direct returns. So I ask again, why the distinction? Or perhaps you do none of these things during office hours? Robert Virding @ L M Ericsson, Stockholm. P.S. Where is net.flames or eunet.flames so I can really get going?
