If there is in fact, as one of the Mercury columnists pet-peeved about this morning, a special circle of Hell reserved for those whose cell phones ring in movie theaters, there is also one reserved for those whose phones ring in libraries. Especially loud/tinny-piercing enough to go through the wall of the North Reading Room (and through the significant separating airspace as well) into the Technical Services area where I am. How I wish that devices which block cell-phone signals were not illegal, or that we could search everyone as they entered and confiscate their phones to be held in a "coat check" area until they left. Feh.
