Now THAT issue, I have some sympathy with. That's simple common courtesy which seems to be less and less common with every passing year.

The fact is that we, as human beings, are VERY social creatures. Anything that taps into that is tapping into a basic need to feel connected. From oral traditions to papyrus to Gutenberg to Bell and Edison - communication improvements have always been a boom industry.
