I agree with what Allen said, wholeheartedly!

I understand it's hard to know the practicalities of doing this, at times, but it's something you have to figure out. It isn't that you don't want to be "polite"... you just want to be too busy with your own life to have time to for extra stuff. You're in the middle of something - no time to pay attention to a picture... that mind-set is what you're striving for.
