    Why?

    That=3Fs like saying (*)=3FI think you can=3Ft bury the fact that you
    monitor employee use of telephone and the pounce on someone out of
    the blue for making personal calls.=3F

    Seems to me the default is that your employer=3Fs property is not for
    your personal use. Te employer should not have to warn you not to
    steal.

    (*)Apologies for the garbage characters in the above message.
    Gravity has not adapted well to Windows XP, and one of the
    annoyances is that every once in a while it decides to change real
    quotes to so-caled =3Fsmart quotes=3F. There isn=3Ft even a setting for
    this in the options!
