There needs to be a firm middle ground. They should teach this at a young age.

Actually, one day, when I was about 10 or 11, my Dad sat me down and said "Son, it's time you learned how a man shake hands and this is why its important to do it right". He practiced with me, making sure I didn't deadfish or crush, for about half an hour all the while telling me why it was important for a man to have a good, solid handshake. I remember feeling pretty damn grown up.

Just one of those small "Dad" things I'm grateful for.
