This part of the thread makes a good point.
My wife works for a bank. In the interests of security, they've locked down just about everything on all employees' machines, including the ability to change the desktop wallpaper. Installing programs is totally out of the question. Port 80 is open, but any sites even remotely having to do with messaging (Hotmail, Yahoo,) are blocked, as are any streaming sites and just about everything else, it seems. Webmail needs to be specifically enabled, and few are deemed qualified to receive it. My wife has never tried to use Google Groups, so I don't know if they allow that.
