No shoes, no shirt, no service

 

You know those signs “No shoes, no shirt, no service”? It’s kind of like that here at Conscientious Central, when there’s an email coming in with just a line “Check out [add link here]” and nothing else. Maybe I’m extremely old-fashioned, but for me, unless you’re an old friend of mine common courtesy applies (I’m not alone with this): If you send me an email I’ll send you something back - if (and only if) there’s a “Hi” or “Dear” or any of those other little words and phrases that turn the combination of electronic signals on a computer into a small electronic letter.
