Hi
 I used to hate that when the draftsmen would take my
carefully organized schematics and crunch them down into
an unreadable mess. I had them as logical blocks
because that is the way I thought about the designs.
When the techs on the bench were trouble shooting,
they'd always come to me for the original drawings.
I tried to fight it once but the boss said it
was wasting too much paper ( let me see, a $60K system
couldn't afford $0.20 more paper?? ).
