Either I'm used to it or other people are deranged, and I'm normal. You, reading this message, probably won't get angry from it or feel threatened or whatever. And you shouldn't. But I get a mail my boss or teacher right now, and I write a letter expressing disagreement and omitting the "Hello," and "yours truly" parts he might blow up instantly and start yelling of things I don't know where come from. That happened to me so many times so now I always stop to think, "hey, this is a normal person, so I can't use normal language"... And then when things cool down they always say "Of course, I'm happy to discuss this with you, just not used to the way you approach me..." (?!) Beats me. -- underground experts united
