I think your long discourse on manners is relevant to some people and  
not to others ( like me ).  I am not interested in adapting to the  
herd.  It has a large component of insecure people-cows who have to  
be reassured that what they are doing makes sense.  It makes sense  
not to do something that might stampede the herd.  When it comes  
right down to it, the fact that the herd stampedes is not really my  
responsibility.  I just better get out of the way.
