Rather well put, Lee!

But you omitted one little detail, i.e., this practice is heavily
tolerated, if not CONDONED and PROMOTED, by Uncle Sugar, aka Uncle
Sam.   Just look at the gummint employees like DING-DONG and Hugh-
Huntzinger (Army peon) who spends their working hours as well as
after-work hours, in rec.scuba, rec.scuba.locations, and other
newsgroups and lists, practicing their "laziness", BESIDES:

La Poisson.

One who paid his dues w*rking 18 hours a day (on 7 1/2-hr pay;  even
geniuses are 1% inspiration and 99% perspiration) when young, 8-12
hour-days on 7 1/2 -hr pay when old;  and Erdos was working
19-hour days everyday on virtually no pay.  :-)  But Erdos had his
unlimited supply of amphetamines (Bezedrine) from his manager/friend
Ron Grahams, former head of Bell Lab's 90-member mathematical
Thank Tank team.  :-)
