Instead I struggle hard to meet Italians within their own comfort zone

Surprise, this works much better for me. :-)))

Please, refuse to recognize accepted standards. It's the way to show

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.
Just because the morons in Redmond set up a stupid default
configuration in no way obligates everyone else to follow
a stupid example. Especially people on a list such as this--
who, by the very fact that they have installed an operating
system, and use it, and it's NOT windows, have demonstrated
the required computer proficiency to be able to figure out
how to properly reply to an e-mail in a coherent readable
manner.
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.
Sushi's not food... sushi is the bait you use to catch food ;-)
