I for one will miss Jim's contributions - he's been among the top
few contributors to the list.  I dont know where Jim works but
it seems a rather short sighted policy to limit non-work use of
the net.  A more reasonable policy would seem to better promote
employee morale and productivity in the long run.  The marginal
cost of email is so small as to be difficult to calculate.  
If they are concerned about how the employee uses their time,
I'd ask if there is a policy about phone use.
