Hi Gunnar,
I just noticed that while I had read this reply, I hadn't acted upon it yet.

That makes sense; but I'm not sure that moving that paragraph to the "be
respectful" section actually fixes that particular issue. After all, the
issue of different cultural backrounds etc is _also_ much farther
reaching than the issue of respect.
So I agree that this could use some improvement, but I'm not sure how to
improve it, exactly. Suggestions are welcome.

Yeah, I've moved it to the "further reading" section instead.

If it starts pointing toward space you are having a bad problem and you
