Not necessarily. Do you need someone to tell you how to behave in public?
Probably not--you were most likely brought up to observe certain societal norms
and mores, and observe them because, in The Real World(tm), life generally goes
quite a bit more smoothly when we are courteous to others.

Do you observe no-wake zones even when you know there's no law enforcement
around? Bet you do--because it's the *right* thing to do--and because real
people are likely to yell at you if you don't. But more because it's the right
thing to do.

Uh, who elected *you* the Ms. Manners of usenet?

Can I infer from this that you're one of the people who chooses not to observe
no-wake zones?

You can infer whatever pleases you. But that doesn't make your inference
correct or even proper.

Such an inference may well be incorrect; but it is certainly proper, in that it
is defensible.
