Comment on Why is "Dear X" considered more formal than "To X" in e-mail/writing?

I don’t think I’ve ever used Dear to start an email; always Hi for as long as I remember.
I don’t like To, it always seems like a command rather than a greeting. I write it on cards and stuff but it always leaves a niggling feeling of wrongness.

I’m a “hello” guy as well, and if it is to an unfamiliar recipient, the hello gets an exclamation point.
