Adam,
You're right, 1 in 4 is on the high side. My office at work has about 70 people. In the past 6 years, I think I've seen maybe 3 pocketknives/Leatherman tools, and even fewer flashlights. I guess 9-11 and the blackout weren't significant enough to change peoples' thinking. Anyway, I'll try to buck the trend and be more civil, especially when I head out east, and I promise not to flip the bird in eastern Suffolk! <img src="images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
