But on the other side to keep it tickin' it has become increasingly more about security and filtering these days than doing any productive work most of the time. Email being the main vehicle. It has turned into a nightmare and you can pinpoint that to the mid 2000s, around 2005 I'd say when all those network spawned. That is my experience and some of my previous employers have been part of the problem so I was in the middle of it actually. I long lost my virginity, naivety and illusions about it all.
Mark, it looks like us Face Book users will go on happily using Face Book and enjoy the sites like iceinspace.
while you people at the "Coal Face" battle the Demons who would undermine us.
