That's not help. I don't feel imprisoned in a cubicle. I like walls, the taller the better.
I'm currently in a short-wall cubicle farm where we have enough space to not to all get sick, and even there the cross-talk from multiple conversations can be completely distracting.
While management/facilities ignorance can definitely make open plan offices worse, I think they're still not for everyone. Some people seem to not mind being distracted, other people are really sensitive to it.
