(...) Uh, no. The paperless office is a big myth. The ease with which paper is created id one of the biggest problems of our times, IMHO.

I don't have time to participate as I'd like to, this week, and probably not next week either... so I'll be brief. This is not directed at anyone in particular, but let's try to calm down, shall we?

(...) I disagree :) As just because Marx described a system that involved 100% tax, it doesn't mean that 100% tax is Marxist.
