At the same time I am not someone that expects anyone in Italy (where I happened to do some vacation) to understand and speak my language. Instead I struggle hard to meet Italians within their own comfort zone as much as I can.
Surprise, this works much better for me. :-)))
kind regards Eberhard

Almost like refusing to remove your shoes when entering an establishment where that action is required.
Please, refuse to recognize accepted standards. It's the way to show that you are you. My sons both acted that way when they were 3-5 :^)
================= I think that there is a bit of confusion here. On the one hand we talk of "standards" and on the other speak of accomodation. I submit that the de facto standard is the way that millions of emailers send email, not the way that a miniscule number of newsgroupies do. As far as accomodation, please note that I, in fact, do bottom post. I just don't care if someone else does not. As far as removing shoes, I guess it depends on how bad your feet stink and what that does to the taste of the sushi.
