There is a reason for that. ;)

Its about productivity.
Just glancing over the names, sigs and based on the way they responded plus my recollection of meeting some of them personally, it actually seems like most of people posting in this thread work for themselves and can do whatever they want. Some of the others seem to be independent contractors or remote employees of medium sized companies that also have options for telecommuting.

I totally get that a large company with 300 employees would need at least one central office and people on site interacting dynamically. But that kind of business structure doesn't describe more than a small fraction of the people posting in this thread.
