Knowing this information can sometimes place you in difficult situations. You often ask yourself if you should interfere to help someone that you like, or don't like. See an e-mail that you know is damaging and wonder if you should stop or remove it completely. It's a very difficult position to be in and almost no one, short of other computer people know about it.

Well, two thumbs up again for those lying salary surveys.
