Crotchety Comment of the Day

I realize how INCREDIBLY important and busy you are, dear sender of email, but unless we've been sending several emails back and forth in the span of a few minutes, please use an Opening containing my name and a Closing containing yours when corresponding via email. FB, Twitter, and text messaging are available for those messages that don't require complete sentences, but let's try to preserve some semblance of courtesy when we correspond with each other.

Hi Starchy,
I was going to respond snidely in incomplete sentences to show you how busy I am. Then I realized I'm incapable of such a thing.
Regards,
Paesley

So, how did I do? ;)

@Paesly: You passed. (But according to my own rule, I just failed!)
