Salutation Question: Hi Fred, or Hi, Fred ?

[Hickling, Lisa (TOR)]

Assuming that commas are "de rigueur" in written salutations, where do
you put them? Between the greeting and name or after the name? Why so?
Is one convention to be preferred over the other?

I'm for "Hi Fred," and only recently and rarely came across the other
form.

Thanks,

Lisa
Thinking: If this query does not meet the bar for controversy or
banality, please accept my sincerest apologies. To those who would
respond, thanks a bunch, I really am curious about opinions on the
subject.
