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.
