I am sorry, but I don't know much about this technomological stuff - I've accidentally posted an answer to aria flame twice, and I really wanted to say something in response to the cookies and tits comments.
What I wanted to say was this: traveling on the pt in Melbourne gives you good experience and refines your people watching skills.
Most people don't want the "there's a good doggie" routine, but by golly if someone goes out of their way for you they do 'expect' acknowledgement of at least a thankyou. Case in point while pregnant I always always always thanked people for offering their seat. No, it's not a huge heroic act, but in the context of being exhausted at the end of a working day it meant a lot. It was an opportunity to say - it means a lot, and usually being me, it's an opportunity to underline to all the rude people who didn't offer their seat (cause of course they were guiltily watching) that yes, it was a nice thing to do. (Ok, so I was using courtesy as a means of sticking my finger up at them - I am coloured grey.)
No, it's not a huge deal to say thankyou and to teach other people in the wider community that their deeds are watched. Maybe someone will pass on the thanks that wouldn't normally?
