I think the general concensus about me is I was not infact raised with an eye to my politeness, it wasn't something my parents have a value about (and in fact in some responces it was something they didn't think all that highly of when it conflicted with honesty and openess and directness) and my dad who is somewhat polite (he's british) didn't learn it at home at all (his siblings are far less polite than he is, they're more working class brits, he's more upper class as a result of his education -- his siblings didn't go past highschool and one left school at age 13 to go to work).
Me I respond if I think there's something to add, otherwise its just more chatter and one more thing that a person has to read and thats time from their day. So if someone responds to me, but its not something that I feel requires a responce in return than I don't.
