The new ‘Hi Guy’ society

At my stage of life how should I cope with this form of address on the e-mails which I receive from so-called professional people. I really must be getting old!

Where has the traditional professional respect gone? Why is it assumed that the recipient of an e-mail will find this form of address acceptable? Sadly, this is just another sign of our times where anything goes especially if it emanates from America.

Am I the only one who can see the spiralling down of standards the result of which we can see around us in the chaotic state of our society.

From a personal point of view I am at the point of responding to the next Hi Guy with an equally derogatory response. So please watch this space!
