First name basis?

Is there a general rule regarding how you should address someone online for the first time?

I prefer to look thru people's feedback to see if their name is mentioned, believing it's more courteous than addressing someone by their username.
I've found however, that some people will still sign off a message back to me with their username.

Am I commiting some type of online faux pas?

I don't use another's first name until intial contact has been made.

Essentially what I was wondering, that some might consider it too personal right off the bat.
Not a major issue, just want to be sure I'm appropriate in my correspondence.

Thanks everyone for the input!

P.S. -Listen Joey, I just need a bit more time see... I'll get your money.....oh no, not the kneecaps!!
