Right on!
But, it isn't just fear of what employees would say! We had a user here
who wanted to set up a mailing list to support users of certain products
-- the vendor refused to participate unless they could control the content
and approve all messages. Their fear wasn't what employees would say -- it
was what *customers* would say, and the fact that other customers would
*see* it!
