What do you think about the "How are you?" question?
I, personally, do not like this question and I have never liked it.
I do not know what to answer.
Also, a lot of the time, I think it is expected just to give a positive answer, but I often feel awful to say "Fine!" simply to be polite if I am not fine.
Greetings to California... Making more Threads, which is good to see...!
With regards to the main question, have a gander at this Thread, please, maybe...?

The "Throwback" is the thing, there (<> as DragonCat says, here.). It also covers the "Fine, Thank You" business as well. (I only posted once, maybe... and my own opinion has not changed since then.)
