Per the message sent by Mohammad Ozair Rasheed:

As an aside, the comments attached to that email were not mine...  I
generally annotate such comments with [FC - ...].  They were those of
the person I got it from.

As far as spitting for respect, I should also note that certain tribes
of head hunters smile and show their teeth when they are planning to eat
you.  Many Westerners interpreted this as friendliness and paid the price.
