Agree 100%, especially on PowerPoint. I had not seen that Wikipedia page (it's brilliant) before. It should be stuck on the back of the toilet door in every board room.

The door plug only needs to lift half an inch or so for the 12 stops to disengage. The damage to the upper guides appears consistent with that to me. That there was (effectively) no bolt in any of...
