Hear, hear. Persisting in forcing social contact on somebody who does not welcome it and makes that clear (whether by words or their non-response) counts as harassment. Why a total stranger seems to think that being in public means you are wanting social contact beyond what you initiate is beyond me. To me, that's just plain creepy - and damned inconvenient when you have a lot to do and just want to get onto the next errand.
