Formality at its best is simply good manners. It's usually only bad when used as a bludgeon.
It's always better, Mr. Standlee, to be slightly too formal than to offend someone by overlooking them (like those who would be interested in a site selection meeting only, or primarily, when it's contested). In my humble opinion, at least.
