Question: On that wiki page, it says "Contacts whose greetings are NULL will not be updated unless the force=1 argument is passed".  I **think** the situation is actually the opposite.  That is, if force=0 (or force= is omitted) then ONLY contacts whose greetings are NULL will be updated.

If you set force=1, then ALL contacts will be updated regardless of whether the greeting is NULL or not.

Can anyone verify that is the case?

I just edited the warning on the wiki page linked above to read:

If the force=1 argument is passed, greeting data will be updated/overwritten for ALL contacts, overwriting any current values for that data.

Just wanted to verify that is correct!
