I find it exceedingly charming that your whole first paragraph is

a whole sentence, nay, a whole paragraph. I find your manners
exquisite. God bless you.
Are you seriously suggesting that you've never seen a message that
begins with a bare "Hello" or even "Hi" as its entire opening
paragraph?...
If you don't know whose signs these are, you can't have driven very
far....r

Mark this day on your calendars, folks.

But I'm serious! I've never seen it. Are you saying some people are
using it as a cheap gimmick? Who?
