[K9-Lovers]

This has become a long discussion with several solutions being offered. There is one thing that we have all seemed to forget, though: human nature.

Human nature dictates that there will not be people to track the minutes items are unattended, patrol tables and chairs, remove items, and be available for their retrieval. That would take too many people and too much time. So forget the idea of the "Polite Police".

There will always be rude people and polite people. No matter what rules are imposed, the rude people will ignore them, and the very polite people will obey.

With rules & signs ~ or not ~ the rude people will continue to save seats, and the polite people will be too polite to rudely remove them.

Now, if all the polite people put their heads together and decide to overthrow the seat-saving-culture here in TV, then things could change. If all the polite people begin to remove the belongings of the seat/table-savers and tear down their barriers and ropes, then saving seats or tables would no longer be effective.

BUT, human nature predicts that polite people do not want to be rude. Therefore, no matter what . . . items will not be removed, seats will be saved, and polite people will continue to be annoyed.

C'est la vie.
