The Mellotron Group

I meant to say that when we shop online we have no cause  to greet or 
thank...

I think it is a byproduct of the Internet, social media, email, etc. And  I 
agree with you John. Sadly, it is only going to get worse. We live in  an 
age where our youth play games and interact online, often with people  
thousands of miles away. Rarely have I seen a game of pick-up football or  street 
baseball. Even the neighborhood basketball courts aren't as busy as  they 
once were.
 
When we shop online, we have to cause to greet or thank. We rarely speak  
as our parents and especially our grandparents did; with a sense of propriety 
 and manners.

Hello Martin,
 
I'm in the States and have been  communicating with our finance groups in 
China, Japan, Malaysia, Australia,  Canada, India, Germany and UK.  Without 
exception, all business  communication is polite, on point, and complete.  
Many times I think  this is because English is the second language, but 
business is conducted  differently and courtesy is part of it.
 
Business communication I typically  receive from the States is terse and 
bottom line.  This will piss  people off, but I think the age of the writer 
has something to do with  it.  If born 1965 or before, manners, born later, I 
WANT IT  NOW!
 
Don't indict us all in the States,  however, some young and old still have 
manners.  Fire  away.
 
Regards,
 
John

Dear  All,


I recieved  this message:


<<What  is the dollar value of the Mellotron mkII #***?  I may be 
interested  in purchasing it.>>


That's it.  Where are the common courtesies of hello, please and thankyou?  
I am fucking well fed up with the lack of manners in emails, sadly  
eminating from the USA in almost every instance.  People want our  help but can't 
couch it with any grace or politeness.  This perso n  can get well and truly 
stuffed.  So, to my esteemed US friends, what  do you think?


Best,


Martin
