Good point!
Drevyev\'s comment reminded me of a time I was in a church in Poland, where there were no pews. I was a little too close and personal with an old man I didn\'t know. He was just the right height to make it very uncomfortable. I couldn\'t concentrate because my \"personal space\" was total violated. In Greece (and I don\'t know of any other countries which do this) the men stand separate from the women. I imagine it is for this very reason.
So....
One good reason for pews... maintain proper distance to establish personal space. Yes, it is very American of me. I know.
