I still like the idea someone posted awhile back, that you simply set up an 
internal Home Page that everyone in the company can see, and through your 
logging of external access, put a "TOP TEN USERS" list up...along with where 
they're going most of the time.  I know that I wouldn't want my VP noticing 
that I'd had 236 accesses against 
http://sexstuff.com/nasty.nastier.nastiest/crotch.html, during working hours 
yet!  While this may be equivalent to the Puritan's stocks, there is something 
to be said for public embarrassment.
