I think we should be aware of who we are talking to before we expect them to accept such forms of "politeness" since to many, it is considered phony and rude.
(I have become an "Anglo-American" since I moved to Texas. I think it is pretty stupid since my heritage includes Native American and Negro. Classifying people by their predominant skin color is as ignorant as making assumptions about them based on the clothes they wear and I am not the only person who has this opinion. I know plenty of people across this nation of differing racial backgrounds who would back me up on this if they knew to post here)

One of the nicest things about 'virtual' communities is that we have no idea of each others' skin colour, race, religion, politics, body shape, ability or disability, gender, etc, unless we
choose to reveal it. We can get to know each other as people without any possible prejudice colouring our reactions to each other.
Excellent post, Moni!
