Just out of curiosity here...

Is it just me, or does it seem like becoming overly polite like this is just a way of being passive aggressive? And...to be honest..it feels sort of a dickish way of being passive aggressive, at that.

...And I have no way of making it seem like I'm fully happy being the only one who sees this that doesn't also seem like it's being dickishly passive-aggressive, so I think I'll just cut my losses here.
