Am I the only one who kinda gets annoyed when someone says, "hey baby" at the start of their emails. People I don't know don't have the right to say that to me. It is so disrespectful. Use part of the screen name or something less insulting. Or am I just too picky?

No, you are not being picky. Most people are ill-mannered. What happened to the wholesome, "Hello"?

Nope! I'm very happy to go by Moon. That has been the shortend version of my screen names for years and years.

YOU are just bored........... I never said I wasn't. But I've not bothered to respond to any email where I was called, "hey, baby". An instant way to rub me the wrong way. |

LOL
Moon, I was just thinking that last night.. The emails that start "hey baby, sexy, cutie, sweetie, sweetheart, etc"... I know people are trying to be nice most of the time but it is somewhat degrading being that they don't know you... |

wow. "hey sexy" isknown to be the correct formal address! EVERYBODY knows that! sheesh.
actually - people should have a little respect. or at least caution so as not to make too much a fool of themselves!! <oops, i saw it again!> |

usually the answer is: In another state. Not alive yet for most of it. Things like that on some of them..... What if I know you, and just can't remember your name? Much more polite than saying "hmmm, forgot your name." Or, if I just want you to think I know you... Think about it. |
