I used to have such a filter in place at previous job, but was ordered by
higher-ups to remove it.  Still, such filters are, to my knowledge, fairly
uncommon.  You are correct, though, that they are a polite thing to do.

Incidentally, I did get my example backwards.  Sincerest apologies and 
thanks to all who noticed; I'll try to proofread better next time.

It could be worse; I could insult the people who correct my mistakes.  8^)
