PA or no PA?

I'm interested to know what professional airline pilots' thoughts are on whether a captain/first officer should make a PA during a commercial flight.

It may sound like an odd question, but I recently took a flight during which neither pilot spoke to the passengers. This in comparision with other flights when several different PAs have been made, warning of turbulence, pointing out sights, etc

Is this normal? Is it good practice not to say anything? Was it simply a question of the pilots being too busy? Do you always introduce your F/O?

Thanks in advance for your comments,
Chris
