i agree... its different when it's to start an email but there is no need for it in session. i pay close attention to it in real life too... yes surely it always makes you feel better when people use your name in general conversation but its a mannerism rather then actual care. i dont think it ever has to do with the person they are addressing. to me it also maipulative.
what does that prove? that they remember who they are speaking too?
