normiss 622 #9 October 4, 2010 Not always - I have managed WebSense servers in the past and they were subscription based. The sites that were on the script that was provided was typically applied. It took an objection to and approval by management to get it changed. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wmw999 2,134 #16 October 4, 2010 So the only one on dz.com that's allowed is the one with the greatest potential for wasting time Wendy P. There is nothing more dangerous than breaking a basic safety rule and getting away with it. It removes fear of the consequences and builds false confidence.

Well Wendy, what gets me is that I can no longer read the articles people put up on the main page during lunch. I learned so much about how to fly by reading those articles. Be it setting up for a landing to how to deal with turbulance. I guess I'll give those guys a buzz and see what gives.
