If the content you are reading is posted on a web-based service, it's technically public information, and people shouldn't fear others reading it...

AND-- well, the IT people would only look for things that would endanger the company some how... so livejournal probably wouldn't be their main concern... :-p

I mean, I do it. I POST while at work... :-p but, until it's Technical Journal season, I'm left with little else to do... :-p
