jelknerGood morning mulbah 12:47
mulbahHow are you doing and the family as well12:47
jelknerLOL, i don't mean to be rude, my friend, but i'm not going to answer that question.12:48
jelknerit's funny to think about irc culture12:48
jelknerbut the little niceties we do in person don't work so well in online chat12:48
jelknerwhat happens each time is that everyone comes on and types what they would normally say as a standard greeting12:49
jelknerif i actually answer, i will have to answer 10 times!12:49
jelknerthe same question12:49
jelknerso a simple "Good morning" or "Good day" will do12:49
jelknersince it doesn't require a proforma response ;-)12:50
mulbahOkay12:50
jelknerbasically, it boils down to information theory12:50
jelknerwhat are we trying to communicate?12:50
jelknersomething like, "i am here, my friend, and i care about you"12:51
jelknerthat's lovely, but we need to find a more efficient way to do it in irc12:51
jelknermy fingers will get sore having to say "I'm doing well, and my family is fine too, how about you and yours?" 10 times12:51
