247. This just shows how uninformed so many DUers are.

Tell me, does ANYONE know of a book that deals with etiquette OTHER than Emily Post's work? Please, name that work if anyone does know it.

Would it be better if the reference had been "Fred Kadiddlehopper's Book of Manners?"

Do people not realize that Emily Post's work is a reference for BOTH SEXES?

Emily Post "wrote the book" on manners.

I really find it bizarre in the extreme that someone, anyone, would find something wrong with this work--just because it's written by a woman.

Talk about sexism!! It's as though the alerter/jurors felt the book had no value because it was written by a woman...! Either that, or they don't understand --because they've NEVER READ THE BOOK--that the target audience of that book is ANYONE, male OR female, who wants to behave like a well-raised human being (as opposed to a clod and a boor) when associating with others. The book has absolutely NOTHING to do with gender. The attempt to associate the book with sexism is just absurd.
