>Peter, it's a cultural thing: North Americans behave differently from central Europeans in this respect. Effectively it boils down to perception of "politeness."

Okay, perhaps you're right. Although the Netherlands aren't central in Europe, but west. And I presume that for example Jean will choose side here (and not mine). The more I think of it, the less likely it is a cultural thing, imo. But I agree it boils down to one's perception of politeness.
