"She also believes very strongly that there is more true kindness and 
courtesy in accepting gifts gratefully and enthusiastically than in 
making them." A.S. Byatt, "Art Work," 1993 (in The Matisse Stories)

Wary of flippantly making positives out of negatives, I shied from 
this, now realize no harm was intended indeed! and wish to accept 
without impediment, magniloquently, reluctantly and quite 
undeservedly, still looking around for someone to whom this might 
have been directed more appropriately.

Like they say, on the Internet, no one knows you're a dog. Or what a 
likewise embarrassing struggle it is when you ask someone a simple 
question on the street and they look at you like you're from Upper 
Silesia and make you repeat, when all you said was "Excuse me, could 
you please pass the salt."

Hey, thanks Dave!
