I apologize, I did not mean to cause such a heated debate on our lovely discussion list.  My question was merely a simple investigation of how other libraries handle e-mail on their public terminals.  I can see both sides to the issue and actually agree with much of what is being said.  I think presently, I would be happier if our Library Advisory Board decided to remove the statement completely.  I can't understand why we have a policy that isn't being enforced.
