I believe Keith is referring to people coming over for a quick visit, like for dinner. Staying for a long period of time is a different matter.

I'll bet you don't have television, either :-) I have a close friend who works for a high-tech company in Germany. He came to visit me for a week last summer. Once a day he needed to contact his company and he needed to use data that was resident on his own laptop. According to your rubric, I could have told him he was rude and refused him entry to my home, but then I would have missed the remainder of my visit with him. Jim Robertson --
