What I do is just not respond until they say what they want from me.

And I also do this when someone just pastes an error message without a question.

Well, that sounds logical. I do the same, too.

1. Current work

2. Today work

3. Review for when work

4. Far future work

Everything in 1 and 2 are lined up for work. Anything without clear action items requires follow-up and clearly signals non-urgency so it's in 3 which is the end of the day. And a 4 is just intentionally forgotten.

If you stick that in your github.com/username/me/README.md then it's documented behaviour.

Same here. I have a “No Hello/Hi/Hey” policy. I just ignore it
Same. Or I reply "nohello.com".
