Trivia Thunderflame!!

Good on ya, Frances, for abandonning getts, Ghetz is not
the prettiest sound.

As for maillist etiquette, greetings are often superenumary

here's a passel for you to pick through:

Hi!

Yo'!

Hi everyone! (maybe too girlish)

Salut!

throwing  yourself in medias res by omitting the greeting and
getting on with it is also commendable

interesting that Simmons would remember the intentionally
mispronouncing of someone's name in a movie. he and the
W and the gent in the movie all of them being given over to
this witty putdown

nice ring to it but implies family. Hi, is the ususal friends convention on
the internet, seems apropo.
