My works account comes through a firewall on another site, then over a more
secure network to the desk, so has the advantage of being always on and having
all working files to hand for sending or downloading - including posting to the
reflector. But for obvious reasons I don't want messages from the reflector
popping up all the time on this one; tried once and it got very annoying. The
various security measures in place make it impossible to access my home account
from this computer - and quite rightly so.
(Official homeworkers, by the way, have special dial up accounts and secure
links provided) Internet access is available but very restricted in its scope
- no downloads of any description are possible, and even .PDF files can give
problems sometimes, many sites are blocked for some obscure reason - and some
dubious ones aren't ;-).
This g4jnt account is my home one, but also accessed from another computer at
work where I have a dial up modem, the other side of the office. Full Internet
access is the 'official' justification for having this route. So it is easy
enough to download and even post from it, BUT being a quarantined machine does
not have any other software or network connections on it. The only way of
transporting data between the two machines is floppy disc or, ironically
enough, EMail. For the sake of completeness I usually copy messages to the
other account.
So that's the story, as far as my computer access is concerned, for those
querying the reasons for posting from a non subscriber.
AND I'd like to get rich quick too, anything to stop wasting 8 hours a day,
five days a week just to earn the money to enjoy myself.

Was...past tense? I take your meaning to be, then, that you were richer
before responding to the previous missive from Nigeria? ;-)
I wonder whether it would be practical for those who wish to post messages to
the list from work, as well as to receive them at home, to access their home
accounts by Web-based email? Over here, many ISPs now offer that service.
Even living in the hinterlands as I do, I can check mail both at my AOL
accounts and on my "real" ISP from any Web browser and Internet connection
while on a break at work, or wherever I may be. Have browser, will read
mail...so to speak.
Might that also be a workable solution in the UK and on the continent? Or do
employers there restrict their employees' Web access more tightly than is
done here?
