>What I said is that anyone who spends more time surfing the net than they do at performing the job that they are being paid for is being dishonest. Do you disagree with that?

I don't disagree.

>I also said that, IMHO, one cannot effectively write code when one is interrupted every 5 mintues by surfing the next. Do you disagree with that?

Again, I don't disagree. I will have a hard time keeping focus if I am interrupted too often. OTOH, I cannot keep focus on the same task for hours without taking some break from time to time. I will loose my concentration otherwise and will not be as productive.
