Re: OT but ...

Maria Conlon:
Maybe more to the point, what if I were a Bozeman city employee --
would it be anyone's business what my passwords are?

Jerry Friedman:
For one thing, I think most Internet use can be monitored without
knowing passwords. ... If it should be monitored at all.

"Skitt":
to repeat, internal (Facebook) e-mails can't be read without being
signed in as one of the correspondents. ...

John Kane:
While this is true, does it also imply that the city should send out a
search party to see if there is any suspicious correspondence in the
applicant's desk at home?

In addition to this issue, I just saw it pointed out elsewhere that
anyone who complies with the request to divulge their password on
Facebook or similar sites is probably violating their agreement with
the sites. One more reason why an applicant who complies with the
request is one who should not be accepted.
