Very perceptive, you've hit the nail on the head! I think a lot
of people are of the opinion that people can do as they please
at the convention, but it's not really considered good manners
(being polite) to not even show an interest in the wares on
offer!

From what I've heard (NOT from any experience I've had) Magic
players / traders or whatever can be rather boorish (mind you,
so can some PBM'ers<g>)
