wadood, it was not a positive feedback, rather it was an unrelated comment, not a correct advice either (as if abbreviation is wrong). Why should I thank?
Brother Yasser, there is no need to brag about it really. I was huffed of, when I got an e-mail about the subscription to this thread, thinking "in the end, someone reads my suggestions!" and I saw this. And unrelated comment. Again there is no need to talk about this more..
But, just to answer your questions, about Salam, please refer to Quran, 56:26, 10:10, 4:86.
About, missing salawat, quoting,
Ibn Hajar Makki writes in his Sawa-iq al Muhriqah, 87, that the Holy Prophet (s.a.a) warned the people not to send batar salawat (salawat which has lost the tail i.e. curtailed). When asked what a batar salawat was he replied: "If you stop at 'Allahumma salli ala Muhammad' You should say: 'Allahumma salli ala Muhammad wa ali Muhammad'"
You can see alike narrations in Muslim, Kitab Salawat, 65, 66, 69; Bukhari, Kitab Anbiya, 10; Ibn Maja, K. Iqama, 25; Nasai, K. Sahw, 49, 50-54, etc.
I don't know what HY means (it is also an abbreviation I guess, eh?), but I do understand your concern about people trying to remove the love of Prophet (s.a.a) from our hearts and I really agree with you.

And, even this thread itself is against those who limit the miracles of Prophet Muhammad (asm) to bringing the Quran only. In order to show them the other miracles of the Prophet (s.a.a).
Anyway.. And about your call on discussion, I don't usually contact people, because, sometimes I don't have anything to discuss. I just share my beliefs (either by typing or by posting articles, book/lets, videos, etc.) when I feel I need to share something important, something I recently saw, something I like. But, you are welcome to contact me if you have anything to talk about. And if you live in or visit Eastern Anatolia region of Turkey, be my guest. ma salam
