The reason why I'm unwilling to simply choose a policy as I see fit, and cram it down their throats, is because I expect compliance without using punishment as the motivation factor. This necessitates that people feel some voluntary commitment and understanding of the rules. People will do whatever is expedient, unless they know there's a reason not to. Whenever punishment is the motivation factor, the response is not to comply, but to conceal. Just ask anybody with a baby, or any dog trainer. *That* is what doesn't work. At the company where EXE and ZIP and such files are prohibited from download, people just use their USB sticks, and starbuck's across the street, to get their job done. Thank you for the feedback, but you and I fundamentally disagree with each other. _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lopsa.org http://lopsa.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/discuss This list provided by the League of Professional System Administrators http://lopsa.org/
