yep. www.businessexchange.com is one i remember getting blocked when the
boss decided that blocking "sex" sites was a good idea a few years ago.
it took me ages to convince him that it was a brain-damaged idea.
i finally got him to reconsider when i showed him examples in the logs
of www.essex.com and www.businessexchange.com and other harmless sites
being blocked.
he also blocked sites with the word 'game' - which blocked quite a few
educational sites, including an educational stock-market game at a
school over in Western Australian and another site teaching statistics
or something with a game.
