OK here's my tuppence worth.. respect for others is like well..manners. Manners is nothing more than making an effort to make another comfortable, or, at least, not making them UNcomfortable. Homeless makes a valid point about getting a smart ass answer instead of the info wanted. But, at the same time, there is a lot of banter here, and maybe Homeless wasn't ready for it yet being new to the mudcat. I've noticed that since I was much younger, there has been a serious decline in civility, and I see that as a damn shame. At a roundabout in Edinburg Scotland, I made a dumb move and pulled out in front of a truck. The driver didnt blow his horn and give me the amputees peace sign, no. he simply waved. We both knew it was stupid.It has been many years since I've seen this behavior in the USA. sigh.
