Whoever's battery that was, I see it's in the ewaste now if you're looking for it.

But yea, that's why I'm especially careful not to leave anything of mine on Tuesday nights, the hardware hackin' tends to involve a lot of shuffling and rearrangements, and new donations brought in - like the boxes on the second table which caused all of its contents to be pushed onto the table in question. Other than the battery, I don't recall seeing anything parked there when I was clearing out that looked potentially important - and I know I didn't lose anything because I had all of my things with me downstairs. Regarding the note, I guess the humor of having parodied the exact tone and phrasing of the original note with the reply must have been lost on you since the first was then specifically described as 'polite' and the second as 'rude' ;-) Ah well. And yes, it was on 'the same piece of paper' -- that piece of paper was an envelope, a piece of personal correspondence from a friend. I kicked myself when I saw it written on and turned into a rude note addressed to me, realizing I should have stuck it in my laptop bag where it would have been safe rather than leaving it laying on the table next to my laptop and it could be mistaken for random scrap paper. As for the reasonable complaint about tobacco crumbs, noted. Ill be sure to maintain a sheet of paper to roll on. And since the table I sit and roll at tends to be the community rolling station, especially the isle end, I'll park a similar piece of paper there and make sure to sweep it before leaving.
