I search the world for photographs for textbooks that we produce on a world-wide industry that covers mining, technology, fashion, business, retail, etc. And you want an IT person to decide which websites I can visit to find what I need.

We have a policy where we only allow a small list of web sites, and if you want to IM, do it at home, beacuse you aren't doing it at work.

IM could be very useful for many people. But lazy IT people wave around arguments like protecting us or legal compliance. Right. We all know what Shakespear thought of lawyers.
