    one problem that this shows is that people are not held accountable for
    the stupid things that they do. (this aldo applies to the user who clicked
    the attachement to 'see what it would do'). so we feel the pain, but they
    just get a break from work while the IT guy messes with their machine (and
    probably for a while afterwords becouse they can blame the IT guy
    re-imaging the machine for all sorts of things for a week or so).

    we need to change this from the win-win for the bad user to a loose-loose,
    As Tina said, being able to reward the good users with net access while
    denying it to others is a much better approach.
