Mike, I really would not worry about how people respond to you, unless of
course you have horrible interpersonal skills that reap thousands of
insults upon you daily from people you interact with.  From your message,
I doubt this is so.  Netiquette (sp?) only requires the same courtesy you
extend in three dimensional life.  If only everyone were as concerned as
you, we would not have the spectre of the Communications Decency Act
hanging over the Net.  Welcome.
