Ditto. I actually like it when people take an extra couple of seconds to write "Hi <name>," at the beginning of an email conversation. I like it better than when people start off with just "<name>," which I personally find slightly rude, it's like how a teacher or some other authority figure would start off a conversation where they expect they will be telling you off or something. "John, you didn't do your homework did you?" I don't find it so rude as to really be bothered by it or feel like I have to mention it, but rude enough that I never do it myself.
