I hope at the very least that we've given people some 'food for thought'. I was really glad to write a focussed Public Interest Courtesy Rule...before it was kind of just whatever struck me at the time...so thanks for the experience. It has simply been my pleasure. Cheers.

I am floored by your exquisite writing and I can’t thank you enough for your appropriate and sage advice! As you rightly stated: “A good rule of thumb is to consider whether you would approach people and say the same things to the person if you met them under normal circumstances in ‘real’ life? Chances are you wouldn’t, and if you would then you would soon find out that such behaviour is not socially acceptable.” Indeed the Internet provides us certain anonymity and abusing free access to other users and their information creates and leads to an unpleasant atmosphere and experiences in cyberspace. I genuinely thank you for devoting your time and energy to resolving my quandary and I hope that cybernauts across the world wide web will take heed to your words.
