WWDPD - Before posting to c.l.c, I try to ask the question ``What would Dan
Pop do?''. With that in mind, I'm certain that Dan would never begin a
message with a salutation such as ``Hi'', ``Hey'' or ``Hello''.
As a oldtimer in this group, I don't recall usage of such salutations by
Dan
or anyone else for that matter back in the 1990's. I also don't see the
esteemed experts of today starting a thread or responding to a post with
``Hi''.
Don't be mistaken. A post starting with this kind of greeting is most
certainly not offensive. I personally just take it as little more than
``unwarranted chumminess with the newsgroup'' (with apologies to dmr). I
suppose it arises from newbies accustomed to on-line chatting.
plz u can splain if i am rit bout dis
lol bye
