A while ago someone said that Westy people seemed snooty and didn't wave to
them -- my experience (driving a Westy) is the opposite, that non-Westy
people are considerably less likely to wave.  Is it possible that each
sub-population preferentially waves to its own members?  I'm quite
indiscriminate myself, I'm so pleased when I see one at all...
