I can't start an answer with "Hi-z" (this one: https://electronics.stackexchange.com/a/169579/4245)

I had to stick it in back-ticks to effectively escape it.

Without that the "Hi-z" was changed to just "z".

Is this Stack Exchange thinking I'm being needlessly familiar and chatty?

  • \$\begingroup\$ You could reword your answer so that it's doesn't start with "Hi-z". It might read a little odd, but will avoid the dreaded backtick formatting. \$\endgroup\$

Yes some salutations are blocked automatically at the start of posts, it looks like you've hit one of the rare cases where it's a false positive. You can see the following answer that shows the regular expression used to remove them:

Should 'Hi', 'thanks,' taglines, and salutations be removed from posts?
