well, then that's a decision being imposed by someone else... and 
if the company has a problem with their staff seeing SmartTags, 
they'll do something... if the same company doesn't care about 
other peoples' sites, they won't do a thing...

this is part of the strength of the MS position... it's easy to prove 
that a user can easily circumvent it, it's hard to prove that they 
won't...
