Elbows on the table

My family was never crazy about table manners. Then again, we rarely ate at the table. Meals were more of an "every man for himself" type of event, with each person eating whatever they wanted whenever they got hungry.

That said, elbows were usually okay on the table before or after you were eating, but not during. I do have have a habit of leaning my forearms on the edge of the table while I eat, though. Is that considered rude, as well?
