[ELECTRON] Keeping stuff tidy

[Kyle Gordon]

"move stuff out of their way"? Were they trying to sit on top of the 
pile or something? Last I saw of it, there were two clearly 
distinguishable collections of equipment. Granted, they may not have 
been labelled "SKIP" and "NOT-SKIP", but they were still two collections 
that were clearly there for a *a purpose*

To scatter the kit across the shared space is not only callous and 
selfish disregard for the work of others, but also demonstrated a lack 
in forethought with regard to what those piles were actually for. 
Tidying the room has been clearly discussed for many months now, and 
positive progress had been made. Maybe apologies should have been made 
for it not being blatantly labelled with big neon signs or handled 
swiftly enough, but not putting it back to the way it was found is 
equally inappropriate and selfish.

For what it's worth... here's a link to photos of all the labelled kit, 
and a previous list email about handling this equipment. I trust you 
will be responsive in notifying the list or wiki of any equipment you 
wish kept.

before telling people to inform other members about what they are doing.

And aggressive posts from Gordon? That was positively tame.
