"A little common courtesy goes a long way, "
Common courtesy is not as common as it used to be, just like common sense.
Unfortunately, this is too true.... sad but true. [&o] I've always loved the quote from Robert Heinlein's Time Enough For Love:
"Moving parts in rubbing contact require lubrication to avoid excessive wear. Honorifics and formal politeness provide lubrication where people rub together. Often the very young, the untraveled, the naive, the unsophisticated deplore these formalities as “empty,” “meaningless,” or “dishonest,” and scorn to use them. No matter how “pure” their motives, they thereby throw sand into machinery that does not work too well at best."

edited to correct the name.... Jesus, Joseph and Mary - I'm looking right at it, where the HELL was my brain?!? [sm=hair.gif] [sm=m23.gif]
(Thanks, Greedy!) [:o]
