This assumes that reclining is comfortable for everyone. I don't recline because it is uncomfortable for me - few seats are shaped to give me the support I need, even in premium classes. I have to be close to 90 degrees or completely flat. (If you've gotten a rental car where the driver's seat is completely upright, I've probably had it before you.

But the original poster has the reasonable attitude that should be encouraged. Reclining is a personal preference and both parties should try to make polite compromises in a way that does not inconvenience one greatly over the other.
