Point well taken there, Ace......
I do that allot. I say hi Ace or Sport or pal or chief.
I do it because I run into people all day long and I'm TERRIBLE at remembering names.
If I hear a name, read it on a business card, and then write it down I'll remember it forever.
But if I just hear it or read it I won't remember it 5 minutes later.
I suppose instead of saying hey Buddy, how are you? I could thell them that I don't remember their name, but that might make them feel unimportant and possibly insulted.
I'd rather they think I'm slimey than have them think they aren't worth my time.
