Discussion11 January 21th ~Our last class~

Last week, our discussion topic was "Spam Filtering". I'm a network administrator and a father for a young family. As part of my responsibility as a network administrator is to monitor the e-mails for the organization. Of course, I must not reveal the contents of confidential e-mails of staff members regardless of the contents. It is my company's policy.

However, one day, I get a e-mail which has come from the wife of a very good friend of me. I find that it is actually an e-mail to my friend's wife from her lover. Actually, I want to tell that to my friend but I have to observe my company's rule. That is dilemma so we discussed "What should we do?".

In my opinion, I should not say the truth to my friend because I need distinguish between business and private thing. When I checked the e-mail, I worked at my office as a administrator. Therefore, I can't say that to my friend. Nevertheless, in fact, I want to tell him the truth because he is my important person. Then, I should have a chance to tell him in my private time. Of course, I can not say straight it to him but I can give a chance to remind him what the his wife does wrong now. If the friend answer that he and his wife don't have any problems when I ask him, I have nothing left to say except the follow words; "OK, I see. But, if you have got some questions about your life or love, I'm ready to listen your worry."
The reason why I say, I can't leave the problem with doing nothing. I feel very much that one wants to do something because he is my very good friend. It was our group consensus.
