I've even sent it to a few +people since then (who wouldn't take offense to it). + +I work in a fast-paced environment where efficiency is extremely +valuable. Therefore, I have always held a deep displeasure for +conversations where people start with "Hello" and then. + +I searched back through my work messages and found that I received ~50 +messages from ~10 people last year from people that contained "hi", +"hey", or "hello" and did not contain any indication of the purpose of +the conversation. I also noticed that a few of the users were +responsible for the large majority of the cliffhangers. + +There's no real point to this post, just a desparate request for people +to please stop doing this. -- cgit v1.2.3-70-g09d2
