I feel so sad that someone does not like 'that' with restrictive relative clauses. It suits my taste so well. On the other hand, my brush with linguistics (I remember Geoffrey Pullum as a rock star in the field--it was a big thrill to see him live back in the day) has convinced me that what we call style is mostly folk text grammar/discourse analysis. To me, Strunk & White are to grammar what Oscar Wilde is to sociology--pithy and fun, and completely unscientific. (Although I would guess that Wilde's amateur observations about us as social beings are more accurate than Strunk & White's about grammar.)
Thanks for sharing your info. I really appreciate your efforts and I will be waiting for your further write

Trust me: be-cubicled workers are always surveilling each other, whether they can see each other over the walls or not.
This sounds like a reasonable excuse to watch 'Office Space' again...
Uh, yeah. Why don't you go ahead and do that.
But seriously: there might be material in James Beniger's The Control Revolution about the modernization of office space. It's a handy, widely applicable book.
