If we don't want rules and regulations governing our speech or our office decorations etc., there *must* be interpersonal feedback! (Sorry, I'm Californian. I refer to complaining and bitchin'.) Quoting Voltaire is nice, but let's not forget the responsibility this attitude implies. I conclude that a co-worker can put up anything he or she wants if noone objects. The situation with an overbearing boss is different, but this situation is different in many many ways. If someone here had been traumatized by horses when young, I would take down that beautiful pastoral scene. Why should it be any different with naked bodies? I submit that this also applies to our lengthy and slightly ridiculous discussion about opening doors. Yes? No? -brian
