Wow, are you implying that such readers are too stupid to do (c) get a
Hotmail account for posting to mailing lists?

Some of these confidentiality/security paranoid companies have firewalls that prevent employees from accessing off-company communication services[1], to prevent employees from using those services to leak confidential information. However, if you work at one of those companies, and don't have the skills or means to bypass the firewall, perhaps you should avoid posting to nanog from work for anything other than to receive help from your fellow netops during emergencies.
