It's like everything else... in the end management has to create an environment where work WILL get done. At my place there is a clear policy (set by me) that says you play all you like as long as you don't stop yourself or others working. It works moderately well. Use of the net is a perk of the job, like the cappucino machine. Personally.. i can't be bothered checking up on email. I've got better (and more interesting) things to do. -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
