Ah, but you aren't on those lists, you're on this one.
Would you go to the Middle East and wave with your left hand?
Go to India and honk your car horn at a cow blocking your way?
Certainly you could do both, but you would rightly be subject to scorn
and derision for breaking social norms.
Sure, there are a couple of folks on this list who refuse to trim or
bottom-post, but they are regulars, and for the most part such
eccentricities are overlooked because they contribute.
