Hi Ted,

I'm sorry I can't find the english words to say you how I'm absolutely  
agree with you!!!

Unfortunately in our days the general people is not polite, I say the  
same as you say, and on the other hand we are capable to be in  
communication with all the world through internet and we can't  
"Bonjour" to our neighboors...

In Spanish we say, your words are "Palabras de santo"..., more or  
less, resumed "AMEN"


Saludos cordiales
Lluis
