The problem with this part of the discussion is that because of the
"Information Age, etc." (aka population density ;-), the composition of
polite behavior changes rapidly within an individual's lifetime. Add to
that the mobility of individuals, and there are multiple, perhaps
competing understandings of what polite behavior is.
