I'm no prude: I feel free to touch my kit however I want. I do, however, try not to touch other people's kit if I know they're a bit repressed about it. Actually, I'm known to draw on my screen with whiteboard pens when it helps. And I've been known to fix a problem with errant punctuation in my code by gently wiping my monitor with a damp finger. If that offends, you probably wouldn't like the 25 years of accumulated breakfasts in my keyboard either.
