Making the first message count in Padang

• Ask a question that cannot be answered with one word — in Padang the reply rate on open questions is much higher.
• Avoid opening with plans — ask something first, then suggest meeting in Padang once there is a thread going.
• Keep the first message under three lines, because long openers get skimmed in Padang the same as everywhere else.
