After four years, I got that image. xD And while being polite is a much more socially accepted thing here, of course. there are always exceptions. xD I've gotten used to it, but I'm in a lot of communities where either everyone (save me) is american or the majority, or I'm one of the only or a few Brits. New brits join and get incredibly imtimidated by the openness, generally. xD It's interesting.
