To be perfectly clear, as I've got the impression that my words were  
interpreted in various ways by different people: the "thank you" in my  
reply to Alan Gauld's message, *is not* a sign of subservience/weakness,  
my seeking his approval or a similar attitude.

I thanked him strictly for *the *polite* style of talking* on the list; I  
do not expect Alan Gauld or any other Tutor list user to agree with or  
approve of any of my philosophical views.

In other words, *in my culture* thanking someone for something (and, by  
the way: apologising to someone for a mistake made) is strictly a sign of  
*politeness*, not of some weakness, defeat, being a losing party, a member  
of a lower social class etc.

Over and out.
