Holger hi, Just to set the record straight: noone wants to spy on anyone else with this project. If there was such consideration I would personally tell them to go where they came from the begining (in spide the fact they are one of the few respectable software houses in my little country). But I can't speak more about it.
Nevertheless, I agree that many companies want to spy on people. I guess that's because of the dot-bomb in America - they had to turn to aggressive marketing methods such as spying, just to stay alive (or to keep expanding - a nasty habit of big corps). This, however, doesn't necessarily mean that companies are the "dark forces" who spy on us. For example why companies tend to do less spying in places less affected by the dot-bomb, such as Europe? Anyway, "my company" (not the one that wants to do the project in question) is made of 1 manager, 2 programmers and 1 secretary, I know all of them for years (did I mention that my country is very little?), and I am the one responsible for the office intranet. The only way my company is going to spy on me is to have me spy on myself ;-) BW, Pantelis.
