That is, I think, a general (generational?) change. I like me a tie and am not overly fond[of the change], but I do have to say, it is what it is. At least if people maintain decorum, relative to time and place, I can stay silent. Even if the move from being sent to get a tie to enter a bank to being the only one with a tie in the bank is... painful, in it's way. But then, after all, I don't own a bowtie, and it's unlikely I ever will.
