Agreed. Putting checks in place for your employees or reading their
mail or reporting on/limiting which web sites they visit is a
disgusting thing to do. As Devdas said, have AUP's in place and take
appropriate action if the AUP is violated. Anything else is demeaning
IMO. If you can't trust your employees, you shouldn't be in
business.
