But Steve,

Neither of us has read John's company policy, so who's to say what it
specifically prohibits?  Eventually, we all have to decide ourselves where
to skirt the rules a little in order to get our jobs done.   Does Google
Groups violate a "no non-corporate email" policy, even in spirit?  I don't
care to debate it, that's for John to decide.

More importantly: I thought that this was a technical discussion list.   Its
way more fun to discuss technical ways for John to get into trouble than to
whine about his employer's policies, which we can't do anything about anyway
:-)
