Swain is ignorant (he's the one who thinks it's OK for police to get powers to read any electronic communications because "they would never abuse such powers") but give him something to think about. I think there's an Internet Ombudsman, too. |

You only need to browse www.aardvark.co.nz to reveal a few. |

| 133389 | 2003-04-05 07:38:00 | Just something I thought of... Who can honestly say that they have read the Xtra agreement before signing up with them??? If it was not for the email the Xtra sent out then this thread would no doubt have not started, and people would be countinuing to dialup to the internet happy as harry without any problems worring about something else like maybe Pallidium CyberChuck |

| 133390 | 2003-04-05 07:38:00 | hmmm thats just more of the same. Most things mention similar things. I just don't bother reading any of them. I'll worry about it when I get caught out by it. Same thing happens with off topic stuff at the workplace. |

| 133392 | 2003-04-05 08:20:00 | Pluto.. You'll find that in your job, with a year or 18 months behind you, that it will be a great advantage in moving on in the industry. Suggest you take advantage of the free MCP courses they offer (or did when I was there). Also it makes it a lot easier to get into a tier 3 position within Xtra or similar after you've 'done your time'. Industry insiders say it's in the pipeline that MCSE will be recognised as an NZQA qualification. The outfit you're with has a high staff turnover, which is why they're always recruiting, so if you stick it out, all the better for your future. They're the same crowd I was gonna refer Chilly to. |

Yes its all a game ain't it . The above comment is probably the best reason to shift from Xtra . |

| 133395 | 2003-04-05 08:39:00 | There's something called the "ostrich syndrome". Did you not realise that entire major industries have been successfully founded on the provision of information to the populace? If so, don't you understand that in societies throughout the ages there has been a need for accurate, well-informed information. I'm not in the habit of worrin [sic] about trivialities, but I do like a well informed opinion brought to my attention, or even just a relevant fact. I don't go through every EULA nitpicking, but when a major corporation makes a point of reminding me about their terms that I have to be subject to, I (personally) thought it worth looking into a bit further. Cyberchuck, you don't have to, and I apologise if this thread has in any way come across as being alarmist to you. |
