As co-training officer for the ARA South West region, I can honestly say
that I thought this topic was so wild, so crazy, so god-dam 'out-there',
that I never thought I would see a conference on it.

Members of the said region can be assured that now this taboo has
finally been broken, the next survey of training needs shall include a
'paperclips' category.

On a personal note, I'm sure I speak for at least several other list
members when I give a great big Mitchell and Webb shout of
"HENNNIMOOOORRE!" to the original poster... (sorry, couldn't resist.)

Goodness, what does this say about me? I use plastic coated
paperclips ..... colour-coded to the content of the document.,
naturally!

Please can someone set this up? I want to go! Perhaps it should be
held at Cafe Clip in Deggendorf.
