thank you for your respond....the person that is doing this to me at work is
not there to monitor people..he is not with the lan crew, but knows how to
the stuff they do on the computers...i will, in time, include the lan people
, but would like to have physical effidence of sorts or a witness before i
let the lan crew know.

this situation is difficult because the person follows me, etc.. and would
like to have anchorage before taking the matter, higher.
