WEIRDNESS:
I got addressed as the following in a response e-mail I just received:
"Mr. Troester"
Perhaps this just seems weird to me because I got this from someone who is my age--although, truth be told, I have a lot of respect for people who default to whatever honorifics are appropriate when none are specifically asked for. Nice to know, in any event, that attempting to be formally polite has not gone out the window.
