Reminds me of this Kunth quote about why he stopped checking email... "Email is a wonderful thing for people whose role in life is to be on top of things. But not for me; my role is to be on the bottom of things. What I do takes long hours of studying and uninterruptible concentration." http://www-cs-faculty.stanford.edu/~uno/email.html Open offices (loud, busy, chaotic) should be used for people who need to be on-top of things. They are not for developers or IT/Network technologists who need time to think, solve problems and collaborate quietly.
