Nice to know that Good Manners are noticed

Apologise to CC for gatecrashing this thread but you may like to hear this story.
Just prior to 9/11 I flew on a domestic flight from San Francisco to Houston. On boarding, I gave my usual smile and greeting of 'Good Morning, how are you' and during the flight a smile with the usual manners of please and thank you for the service provided. I thought nothing of this as it was just routine as far as I was concerned.
Towards the end of the flight a CC member informed me that the captain has asked to speak to me personally. Seriously concerned that I had committed some possible misdemeanour, I followed the CC member onto the flight deck. The captain shook my hand and said 'The CC have brought to my attention your courteous and friendly manner during this flight. Please accept my sincere thanks and accept this bottle of champagne with the compliments of the airline'.
