OK Last question of the day. I'll promise

Can ettiquete skills really be made into knowsofts ?

Sure I have seen the stats of the bodyguard archetype in which they are
mentioned but i could find nothing on them in the skillsoft section.
It mentions science skills,mental skills and the lingua and active skillsofts

But in my firm believe you just can't buy social skills (they are even an
apart group of skills on the skill table) on a floppy disk. You can't
just walk into a store and buy a leadership skill or buy a chip that
makes you the most smooth talking, most well-liked chap on the block.
Interhuman relations are probably the most complex science of all. And
indeed maybe that chip will tell ya how a assault cannon works or how
to speak swahilli ,but it sure in hell won't tell you how to pick up girls
in a crowdy bar or how to bribe your local V.I.P.'s. If that would be possible
I think the future wouldn't look like the hellhole Seattle is.
