Not likely to succeed given the nagging effort I have had to put in to
first get access to FTP and then to NNTP (several years between).

We are part of a big Swiss corporation and now the Swiss auditors have
zoomed in on another pet of theirs:

They discovered that 40%+ of the employees in Sweden were local admins
on their PC:s. Apparently that is a no-no according to them so now the
IT department has been given the task of weeding down all of these
admin users. The result is that everyone that has been demoted need to
call an IT admin for every single update in Firefox and every single
install they need to do....
Well, they can't get at us software developers because in our job
description is that we must be able to perform admin tasks on our PCs.

Stupid still and reflective of their thinking.
