1) If you are using AOL for company business, and yes, many companies
do, they have language filters, where with repeated incendents, will
terminate service...explain to your boss how you single handidly
cancelled your company's email service.
2) Content filtering software logs incidents. X number of log entries
and you get "noticed". Explain to your boss how you participate in a
forum, on company time, where this is the level of discussion.
