:-) (or should I say, Hi-Hi?). I use 73 in e-mails too, but I use it like I use it on the air - as part of a final salutation. When I expect to see more on the subject directed to me, I don't us it just as I don't use it to end every transmission on the air.
As the saying goes, "Civility Is The Lubricant Of a Healthy Society." Traditions are also a part of a healthy society and it's worthwhile learning and following them for just that reason. 73, Ron AC7AC -----Original Message----- Pete, I don't think this is curmudgeonly at all. I try to sign off with 73 on internet forum postings (such as on eHam), as well on e-mail lists like this one. I figure if I can't say "73," meaning, of course "best regards," then perhaps I shouldn't send it. Keeps me in check! 73, Chuck Guenther NI0C ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
