<DIV>(Ignore this message-- because some months ago, some anonymous impersonator instructed you to ignore me, and you should always do as you're told.)</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>i finished Phase 2 of the Electronics Component Storage cleanup and reorg. I put all unsorted parts into a big bin called "Unsorted Parts". When people return components, please dump them into the "Unsorted Parts" bin, if you don't want to sort them into their correct bins. Then at least we won't have junk all over the floor. Great system, right? </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Except, some inconsiderate or lazy or disrespectful or oblivious or malevolent person just dumped a bunch of parts onto the floor, and left the mess there. This does NOT make me feel like putting my time and effort into Phase 3 (reorganizing the drawers). Why should i bother? </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><SPAN id=cf27d19c755d43168a5a9084e40ca982>Is it "oppressive" to expect people to pick up their own messes? <SPAN id=9a36232625e84d5daf4891647be04c84>I think it's oppressive to the whole community when one person makes a mess and leaves it there.
<DIV>
<DIV></SPAN></SPAN> </DIV></DIV></DIV>
<DIV>Way back when my request for $10/month for electronic parts was rejected on the grounds that "you need to organize what we have first", i was disappointed. But i changed my mind, i agree with that now. Users SHOULD keep the place organized before expecting NB to fork over money for supplies. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>However, this is a quandary: Due to nb's unwillingness to require training on tools and supplies, it will be impossible for anyone to comply with the "organize what we have first" stipulation. Certain people will continue to disrespect the commons. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Sure would be nice for this hackerspace to support hacking, with <SPAN id=775439e24e564f0b8705ae3c9802c62f>required </SPAN>training and cleanup-hours. Why not? W<SPAN id=2fa3bf4e26f64a6596b7e694b464f625>hen a person cleans/organizes a space, they're less inclined to mess it up. </DIV>
<DIV>
<DIV> </DIV></SPAN></DIV></DIV>
<DIV>PS, I agree with Al, when people violate the space, they forfeit their "ask before shooting" option. That said, if the dude in the photo is who i think, he's is a very sweet, harmless, tripped-out person. i think NB forfeits its option to be "stern" with people for sleeping, when NB allows it to continue-- it's entrapment-- "sure, cmon in, bring your luggage, hang out for months on end while doing nothing.... hey, no sleeping, GTFO!" That said, sure would be cool if this hackerspace devoted half as much time talking about hacking tools and materials as they spend talking about sleepers. Sleeping people don't stop me from hacking, but broken tools and disorganized supplies sure do. </DIV>
