For everyone using work e-mail accounts consider the following: If you are posting about a company issue anyone can gather information about your company and possibly use it against your company. Posting from an non-work account makes it more difficult to track who you work for and decreases the potential that any information that is inadverrtantly disclosed is not used against your company. -- Leonard Isham, CISSP Ostendo non ostento.
