I don't see how you could say it's "vile"--I walk into a classroom full of people and don't get so much as a wave, and I think nothing of it. Not everyone is greeted, rest assured: and we do our best to greet people when we see them, if they're new users or users we know: take my example. I try to greet new users when I see them, but as for regulars, I may greet them and I may not, but as I and a few other users have said: you must remember, some of us on Chat are on there while playing a video game, watching a movie, eating a pie, baking a pizza--there's a myriad plethora of things users may be doing besides watching the chat. They should never be held responsible for not deviating from their offline lives to appease a remote few users who feel offended because they're not greeted--which, I am told, is "vile", and I'm presuming uncouth; although I don't see how. My point is: please be patient and be willing to accept a lack of a greeting--and feel free to greet the chat after a minute or two!

Fun story: I once greeted someone who came into chat two hours before I saw the message because the scrollbar was stuck. They had came into chat a full two hours before I greeted them, simply because of the silly scrollbar.
