Additional Comments:

When you email someone, do you sign it?

I rarely do. My name is in the box of the email, so the person knows who sent it.

The only time I do is when it seems the polite thing, like someone I rarely email.

What about you? Do you sign off?

I always sign the first e-mail, but if I'm communicating with someone back and forth, I don't sign the rest.  They obviously know who they're talking to!

    I usually sign my name.  If I'm having an email conversation with someone and the notes are going back and forth, I may not especially if it's just one or two lines.  Most other times I do sign.

  • Yea, I do the same if it's back and forth. I guess I need to try to sign more often. it seems more polite, the more I think about it. (Charlotte)

    Usually I do.    If it is just a short note or a reply to someone, sometimes I won't.    If it's a board person I sign it Gail/Real Name as I'm sure you have seen.    And if it is Jan, Doopy or my BFF, I sometimes just sign ''me.''    An aunt of mine used to do that whenever she wrote to Momma, so I guess I took a page out of her book in my old age.    

    Your post scared the stuffin' outta me!    I was afraid your puter was history or you didn't want to play with us any more.    Glad it was just this.     HelenWheels must have thought up the topic title.    :-P

  • After I posted that, I thought, ''That doesn't look so good.'' I have to admit that I came up with it all by myself. (Charl)

    I almost always sign off. If I am emailing back and forth with someone, after 5 or 6 times maybe I'll not do it, but that is not often at all. But if I am BCC'ing a lot of people like when sending out a good joke or story, some of the people may not know me as Rusty, and others may not know Don. Those emails may go unsigned.

  • I guess I do the same, if it's back and forth. And how to sign, depends on who you're emailing. (Charlotte)

    If I'm the one originating the email, I sign it. If I'm just replying, I don't always. I sign with so many different names, I have to think about it. LOL. I usually sign Blink, but I have one email buddy that calls me Sis, my niece calls me AM (for Auntie M......), and then there's my real name that I rarely use.

  • That's a good 'rule', signing it if you start it. Maybe I'll try that. With my family, I always sign off, I just realized. I sign it, depending on what they call me. (Charlotte)

    Yeah, I sign emails.  If it is to someone from the board I sign it with both ''mags'' and my real name.

    So far I don't think I've made a big mistake and signed an email to a relative with my board name.  At least I hope not!

  • Actually, it was my emial to you that got me thinking... (Charl)
