People not finding the extra time in their busy days to use salutations in their fackin' e-mails. Is it really that tough to write Hello? Or even Hello____,?

Hi. Hey. What's up? would even work.

Rude ass people.

I've noticed this same trend and it is annoying.  I always make sure I have one in all of my e-mails. 

Immitation is the best form of flatery.

... The use of a "Importance: High" exclaimation point in Outlook e-mail for a non- "importance: high" issue...

 I never really noticed till now, but now that I think about it I guess I do use salutations. Mine's just a simple "Hi so-and so," every time.

I should use "Dear Sirs," sometime again though, it's been awhile. It just sounds so cosmopolitan and upstanding and shit. Or perhaps even an ill-placed (given the recipient) "WHATUP YO?" in caps to my boss.

 I pretty much only include a salutation if I'm initiating the conversation and pretty much never, if it's a reply.

I don't know....maybe that's rude, but even if there's a "Hi, How are you?", I usually know they don't really want me to actually tell them....at work, at least.

I can't stand it when someone just forwards you and email in a effort to say, "take care of this because I don't have the time or I'm to important to concern myself with this" but they don't say that, they just forward it to you with no explanation.
