Hang on there a second, sonny...
Don't go gettin' yer britches in a knot.  All this talk of organization 
can sound mighty purty to the uninnishietted but it's a big ol' can of 
worms which you don't wanna open (while the shoe's on the other foot).

I don't know you personally but it's fairly safe to assume the greater 
part of this wonderful group is safely past 40, some very safely...  Now 
if you've spent 40 or more years being a disorganized mess, why do you 
want to go and change that all of the sudden?

Should you suddenly undo your personal safety net of mis-organization 
and slovenliness, you might not be able to cope with what comes next. 
Or it might get worse and you'll find yourself Velcro<tm>-ing everything 
in your domicile, in search of further organization.  It will only stop 
when your wife winds up strangling you with a mixer cord that you've 
`organized' for her in such a way that she can't use her mixer.


And do you really think all it will take is some Velcro<tm> cable wrap 
to make it so?  I dunno about you, but it would take a lot more than 
cable wrap, OCD, and a small army of professional cleaners to get my 
shop area (or my life) into a state of merely Dirty.


You could also wind up like Crazy Bob, at work.  Bob was never right 
after the last Black Monday on Wall Street.  He spends his time 
organizing things.  This largely takes the form of cable ties at REGULAR 
intervals, everything at right angles, and using his email program as a 
word processor because he can't grok MS Word.  Or Notepad.

Sometimes we move things around so they're not at right angles.  The 
last time we did this, Bob paced for 40 minutes and lost a week's sleep 
until the angles went back where they `belonged'.



But I digress.....
