I agree with you, Linda!
Asking for levaing �thank you� is rude!

I think once again the main issue was lost down the way....
 
What I defend personally is a question of education, of good manners, courtesy...
We take something, we say thank you. And we mean it... 
It�s as simple as that. As basic as that.
 
I am not asking anyone to leave a thank you note on my worksheets. I could never do that! A thank you note without meaning would be worse than nothing at all.
 
What I am asking is that you give it some thought. Some people have said here how important this  is for them, so I think you could at least sleep on it. That�s it! Nothing else! The decision is always yours!
C�mon guys, don�t complicate what is simple.
 
Enjoy your weekend.

The Insistence

Again, this comes down to fundamental difference in opinion/personal philosophy.

Feel free to state �Don�t be rude, leave a thank you� - just do not lecture anyone on morality. Your opinion is just that - your opinion. An �insistence� also implies you have some substance in a disciplinary way to back up your assertion. Insistence is the first step to fascism. It says that your own morality (& I dislike you linking education to morality - I don�t know of anything that could support that statement) is superior to everyone else. Who are you to judge?

Cheers,
the Resistance
