No we are not! If we do not like the post we do not reply, or give 
reasons why we shouldn't help.

And that is your personal opinion and you are entitled to it however as 
opposed to just switching off the radio when it broadcast something you 
disliked, you decided to give reasons why should have to turn the radio 
off to the poor Romanian.

If the post had originally been ignored for what it was, the amount of 
wasted bandwidth would have been considerably less.

Oh yes they do, provided of course the employees are told that they will 
be monitored at various times. That way they can be 'spied' on at any 
time and not know if Big Brother is watching and their civil liberties 
are not trampled. As an example, assume Employee A plays games on his 
office PC but tells no one. If he could see that he was being watched he 
would no doubt be working and not playing games, however he can't see 
Big Brother covertly watching him, as they said they might be when he 
was employed, and so he wastes company resources.
