You're not the only one. I have only been in software for a little over two years (since I graduated). I am constantly going through note books. I can't really explain why, it's just an easy spot to put ideas. It's like short/medium term memory to me. Anything important enough for the long term usually gets copied somewhere else though.
I was going to buy a laptop at Futureshop a few years ago. After asking about a laptop the sales person said if I wanted I could get the floor model for a significant discount. I inspected the floor model and it looked great. I then said I was going to buy it. He then went on to explain one of them warranty programs they have. I said no thanks. He then preceded to say that he was going to give me the discount based on the thought that I would also get the warranty for the laptop and that I could not get the discount without the warranty. I told him it was dishonest to tell me that he was going to give me a discount and THEN when I agree to it tell me I can only get it if I also get the warranty.
I would think that we wouldn't just send "Hi" and wait for a response. I think we would constantly be sending them information and let them learn what we are sending. We would hope they would do something similar.

Not the most votes, but the most seats. Voters vote for an individual candidate in their riding. The party that won the most ridings, each riding is one seat, forms the government.
