Joe and a couple others have in this particular thread expressed a unique
concept: Employees are expected to produce *something* related to a set
of "responsibilities". I was beginning to think that our job as firewall
administrators was to prevent our employees from doing embarassing
things, and prevent outsiders from doing embarrassing things to us as an
organization.
