The funny thing about people is, they keep telling themselves as well as
others that their shortcomings apply to everybody else in the universe.

If greeter has useful information, it should be moved to a help file and
greeting should be dropped. If it has no useful information it should just
be dropped. If Bryen didn't read his greeter for several years in
succession, it's because he simply doesn't need it, no matter what he is
telling himself about missed occasions.
