<p>I agree with whuber's take on this. I am only posting to emphasize what has already been written in the past and now in the thread given in the comment.</p>
<p>We really don't need to see any form of greetings and other or any form of salutations in the post - post a straight forward no-nonsense technical query without beating the bush. If the user is new, please make them aware why we don't prefer any &quot;TIA&quot; related statements.</p>
<p>But should one suggest an edit/edit singly to weed out such statements from a post?</p>
<p>Let me allure the reader's notice again to a particular para of the old wise <a href="https://stats.meta.stackexchange.com/a/2814/362671">post</a> of Nick Cox (emphasis in italics done from my part):</p>
<blockquote>
<p><strong>Editing even one small thing requires a careful decision</strong>. It will bump the question momentarily to the top of the active list. Some people are irritated to re-open a post of interest to find one minute change. But even threads that have seen many posts can carry errors worth correcting. Nevertheless, for this and other reasons, <em>it is good advice that if you edit, edit everything that you spot as deserving change, so as to make the edit worthwhile.</em></p>
</blockquote>
<p>Please re-read this. When you edit a post, try to see how you can make the post more readable, lucid and comprehensive. While I won't dictate anyone how they would suggest an edit or so, if this is done solely for the sake of removing &quot;TIA&quot; statements without substantially editing anything else consistently, this might be a case to reconsider.</p>
<p>By doing this, you are depriving the new askers from the eyes of the potential users who could answer/add valuable comments.</p>
<p>I might have approved those suggested edits myself, but I really do discourage anyone to go on such a spree to dig out all posts only to remove those TIA statements. Better goal would be to make the new users familiar with the norms and established protocols here.</p>
