Davina,
Thanks for that! Of course, we are to blame for the lack of courtesy, because we aren't making it a priority. People hide behind tech and busyness, but what they are doing is ruining the personal relationships you need to actually get somewhere in life. As to writing blog posts, yes, it helps to get in the groove of it, but sometimes you just do it, even if you end up with a random post like the one above!
