I have a not fully verbalized feeling that the relationship (responsibilities & rights -- in both directions) is not the same between employee-employer as between graduate student-faculty. I personally feel that there is a significant difference. I also wonder if there can be a justifiable contract in which a person willingly agrees to use a computer for a restricted set of purposes - even though the other things (e.g., postnews) are accessible and even though other (more or less) similar people are allowed to do the other things. We may not find out the details, but the generalities are of importance. --henry schaffer genetics ncsu
