With regard to the personal-titles argument going on,
I reproduce the following:

    Moving parts in rubbing contact require lubrication to avoid excessive
    wear.  Honorifics and politeness provide lubrication where people rub
    together.  Often the very young, the untraveled, the naive, the
    unsophisticated deplore these formalities as "empty", "meaningless", or
    "dishonest", and scorn to use them.  No matter how "pure" their
    motives, they thereby throw sand into machinery that does not work too
    well at best.

                -- Lazarus Long

My opinion, too.
