I think that is a very good point, but I also think that goes for people with English as their first language... it is a different level among people on the internet on how good you actually are expressing yourself, and pciking on details on structure in the grammar for it to be as polite as possible is sometimes going beyond the point... well, thats in any case my opinion...
But yeah, I would guess that both when it comes to rules about politeness and how to formulate yourself, it would be a big difference between Americans and Norwegians too, and one should be open towards the fact that other cultures differs from ones own in this :-)
