     I AGREE!!!  I even had a hard time with people in university who used
highlighter markers in their text books.

     We had one of those in university too.  The person went through the
ENTIRE photography section and, using a blue ballpoint pen and a ruler,
extracted every single image of the female nude (which left a very odd blue
halo on the remaining part of the page)!!!  Not even the rarest monographs
survived the attack.  I'm still sickened thinking about it.

     btw...I do not suggest that the original poster would do such a thing,
but Paul reminded me of this tragedy.
