This is a very good and definitive point made, Margret.  The issue of bow or 
curtsy.  It really ruffs my feathers as I see fields of women bow instead of 
curtsy.  I have no idea why.  Men bow, women curtsy.  It's that simple.  I 
have been very tempted to give classes in learning to curtsy.  Being raised 
in a formal household, I suppose this is just an issue with me, but maybe 
not.
