------------------
Remember that old Saturday Night Live claymation feature "Mr Bill"? The clay
character would shout, "OH NO, MR. BILL!" when the menacing Mr. Bill
approached to pull his arms and legs (and ears) off?
That's my reaction when I see the "Headset Hygiene" topic come up again,
heh-heh-heh.
It's a worthy topic, but we hesitate to open that can of worms -- or should
I say, earwigs -- again!
Seriously though, there's a good archived thread on this, but I'm not sure
that it covers "earlets", which actually sound like a good idea.
Ursula, care to chime in on our favorite topic?
Ed
