taste isn't the point, floating one's boat isn't the point. The point is that he's allowed to surf at work, but not to see things that other people just might find offensive and fire him or having casually popped up on the screen one of our machines at work had the browser hijacked...and the pics that kept poppin up were pretty sleazy. i guess what i am trying to say is: if you are surfing the web at all you can come across some pretty bad pop ups by accident. i feel reasonably sure that most bosses understand this...so why should a thumb in freestuff...that is small enough that another would have to actually stand behind one to view be such a big deal? if another has to stand behind a co worker and make an effort to see what is on the screen, than if he/or she is offended by what he/she sees.....don't look. period. it's not like browsing the poser gallery with nudity off, clicking on the links to the actual image. folks need to mind their own business, and stop cramping the business of others.
