True, I wonder if it's driven by people's need to over-express over the internet since there's no body language

I think some people overexpress in general, regardless of the medium. I think it comes from an excess of "passion", which is like permanent exageration. I am prone to it, that's why I know, and I try to keep it under control.

We thank you.

I suffer from the opposite problem—extremely deadpan personality. I insert exclamation points randomly in emails to seem human.
