    Take-home lesson here: There's no such thing as "private e-mail." Especially if you're using a company-owned computer to type it or company-owned servers to send and store it.

    Actually the 9th circuit just ruled that just because it is a work computer, blackberry or work e-mail that it doesn't give your employer the right to go through it without a search warrant.
    It is a huge win for privacy.

    Perhaps, but the cases are different. The PD went to see why the cop was over the limit for text messages. This is different.

    Here's what I have a problem with: Clearly this was a case of girl gone wild. By claiming there was gender discrimination, it creates another "crying wolf" situation that demeans the credibility of any woman who does have a legitimate discrimination beef against her employer.

    While all this crap is going on at Ch. 3, more people still watch Jim Gardner.

    That applies to e-mail only if it's contracted out to a third party, not on company servers.
