...Business Ethics at Bentley College. A study by the American Management Association and the ePolicy Institute found 76% of employers watch you surf the Web and 36% track content, keystrokes and time spent at the keyboard. If that isn't creepy enough, 38% hire staff to sift through your e-mail. And they act on that knowledge. A June survey by Forrester Research and Proofpoint found that 32% of employers fired workers over the previous 12 months for violating e-mail policies by sending content that posed legal, financial, regulatory or p.r. risks...
...might think the sheer volume of e-mail would mean you could get away with a crack about the boss's Viagra use. But sophisticated software helps employers, including Merrill Lynch and Boeing, nab folks who traffic in trade secrets or sexist jokes. One called Palisade can recognize data in varying forms, like the content of NFL playbooks, and block them from your Out box. SurfControl, MessageGate and Workshare check work files and e-mail against a list of keywords, such as the CEO's name, a company's products or four-letter words.

If Lacy was duped, however, it was by a man perhaps as savvy as he is disturbed. In an extensive exchange of e-mail messages released by the DA upon the dismissal of the case, Karr anticipated doubts about his confession. In communicating with Colorado University Professor Michael Tracey, who eventually passed along Karr's e-mails to authorities, Karr had tried to coach Tracey on convincing the Ramseys that Karr...
...further proof "that I was not seeking overnight notoriety." But in a separate passage, he writes: "I want to discuss the book and our collaboration. There must be some way we can manage it." As it has become clear that Karr's confessions were false, the release of his e-mail correspondence reveals the passions of his deeply troubled soul. "I would give anything to have her with me at six," he wrote, "Alas, she would now be nearing sweet sixteen. Instead she is forever six... Her body is now out of my reach, which kills...
