Either way it is as much a part of the game as body language, facial ticks, betting patterns, or starting hand requirements.

That's where you're wrong. We wouldn't be discusing it here if it were as standard to the game as starting hand requirmenents.
A lot of people simply don't know how to behave at the poker table.

Part of the inherent trouble is that there isn't a clear code of rules that governs coffeehousing. Discussions such as these do bring us closer to establishing such a code, though.
