Hi @jarvie
Starting all your messages with "Dear" is really quite weird to us
I'm not a native english speaker, however based on my knowledge it is very appropratie way to open a comment.
Half of the time it is indeed towards someone I already know, value and respect, and sometimes it is as you've mentioned "for really really formal correspondences.".
My comment above I consider to be such exactly that: a formal feedback.
Also out of place on wallet memos if you were wondering.
Perhaps you may have noticed, but I didn't send any mass memos on HIVE pretty much since it's existence. It has been a year or more if I'm not wrong.
I assume you know what "dear" means it is quite intimate
Not necessarily. I spoke about it with 2 separate professional english teachers and both confirmed, that it is absolutely alright to start emails or messages this way. Apparently it's even more appropriate than to start with "Hi".
So allow me please to put my trust in their teachings.
I appreciate your time which obviously it took to write this comment. I really do. And I will do my best to remember not to start comment by saying "dear" to you if it does bother you.
Cheers :) Piotr
I started the response multiple times referencing several points and then I just realized you don't even care. You do you. Appeal to whatever source that will give you the answer you want to hear.
Interesting why would you say that? If I wouldn't even care - then why would I bother to reply in the first place?
Anyway
because... disappointment
