I don't tally the world, asking, Would this annoy you? Would this annoy you? That's so far removed from where I'm at when I'm in the trenches struggling with how to express things that I don't fully understand myself.

I mean obviously we're all dealing with a lot more strangers due to the web. I'd say it has more to do with the quality of interactions.
