Or is the person who is harassing? The net is in this case merely the medium of communication. If there are problems, let the offended party use the E-Mailed message as evidence in normal vocal or phone harassment disciplinary avenues. You are assuming a judicious stance on a personal matter, one better suited for 'personal' policy rather than 'system' policy. John Wagner
