The ORIGINAL writer said that people, NOT THE PLACE OF WORK, were responsible for the noise at work. He specifically said that various blaster-type portables were the problem at work. Don't misquote me, misquoting the original. Having seen, now, the comments from both the original poster and the offensive flame-backer, I think you deserve each other. Both of you just remember: In my own house, I HAVE LEGAL freedom from your noise, or your desire to have no noise whatsoever. (If I keep noise down to near ambient off my property, then I'm being reasonable. If you put noise far above ambient all the way into my house, you're invading... Of course, that is symmetric...) -- SUPPORT SECULAR TEDDY-BEAR-ISM. "... who stole the keeshka, someone call the cops!" (ihnp4/allegra)!alice!jj
