I like this, I'll strive to buy more forks.

> Being a little rude like this won't ever blow back on you in ways that you can directly measure. But it will blow back. I do want to comment that I consider the just saying hello messages to be rude, itself. It's a balance isn't it, I don't want to be rude to others (buy more forks), but I also don't want people to be rude to me. So depending on the situation I might comment on that, but probably not with a link to a website like this, unless I think I can manage it with a humorous tone.

That is fair of course. And it really is a balance!

I just think that it's almost always better to take the high road, deal with this as best you can, and benefit from being seen as accommodating.
