First glider sets the tone. I try to thermal just like I drive: Don't
cause anyone to change his direction or speed due to my actions. Simple as
that.

Okay, let's hear your views on what proper etiquette might be in a
thermal. We all know the first man in decides the direction of the turn
and we should all thermal at the same speed. The Glider Pilot Handbook
seems somewhat unconcerned with the rules and etiquette and the internet
information seems to be the domain of the hang gliders and para-gliders
as to this subject. What say you my friends? (I think we have beaten
the rudder waggle thing to death)
