Thanks trippin and everybody.

Maybe one aspect of this is people who behave as if any conversation is a competition that they are trying to win. I remember once I was the token male invited to a "Women in Physics" lunch. It was a shocking experience to see how different the conversations were from what I was used to. They actually didn't interrupt each other and actually listened to each other instead of thinking what to say while the other person is speaking!
