Are gentlemen a dying breed?

Gentlemen,

I thought the following article may be of interest to members of the Lounge...

http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/life_a ... 962419.ece

May I also take this opportunity to introduce myself as a (relatively) new member who has for a year or so been thoroughly enjoying the discussions taking place on this most distinguished of forums. I would like to thank most sincerely those members who have proved such fountainheads of knowledge in art of elegance in its various manifestations.
May the London Lounge and its members have a long and prosperous life!

Kind regards,

Pinstripe
(London)

All in all, not a bad article, but there are two things that make me question its worth:

a) It's from The Times,

b) This piece of advice: 8. Flirt - with everyone. Good flirting is a form of politeness. Pay compliments and put your companion at ease.
