Bill,

I went "up stream" and took a look at your "before" and "after" photos of your office, and I must say, your office was certainly attacked viciously by the "cleanies" and "neatnicks" - I hope your photos were enough proof for your insurance company to make full restitution and restore your office to it's former "before" status ASAP.

My heart goes out to you and your co-workers that had to witness such displays of desktop and (dare I say it) unobstructed views of your carpet and chair tops...
