oops, I know this subject should be dropped (and hopefully soon will be),
but . . . I reread cr's post and now interpret "idiot compassion" as
meaning if we're nice to people and don't get polite responses (or tell
people how we expect them to respond), we're idiots. I like my first
interpretation better. I agree everyone should be aware of, and practice
common courtesy on their own. And we all know, Bunki's no idiot.
