[nagdu] Please don't pet me, I'm working.

Everyone tells me to get a sign for Holly. However, I won't precisely for
that reason. Folks just ignore it and try anyway!

Raven,

My opinion agrees with your opinion. I had such a sign for a few weeks, and
it didn't cut down on the petting. In fact, people would pet while reading
the sign. I suspect the people who "advised" you of this were looking for an
excuse. Oh, no sign, so I didn't know. Which is crap. If you had a sign,
there'd be some other reason, like "I just couldn't help it" or some other
such nonsense.
