"Best" (as end greeting on letter/emails)

[niaoahgin]

Any attempt at courtesy by closing a letter is appreciated, whether formal or informal. I would be interested in knowing what Forumosans think about my usual closing of "Take care". I am not sure where I picked it up from, but it seems to have become my closing of choice, in addition to "Warm/Best regards" for academic correspondence.

Speaking of "Cheers", a recent news article made me literally shudder from the complete pigheadedness of certain people in regards to the use of closings. This quote is from a news article written about the recent massacre in Colorado:

The one-line email to which he attached the application concluded with a curt and businesslike sentence signed in a way that further put off the rural Colorado gun range proprietor: “Cheers, James,” according to a copy obtained by FoxNews.com.

"That also struck me as very, very strange,” Rotkovich said. “Who says ‘Cheers?’”

Who says "Cheers"?
Millions of us.

Would it be inappropriate to point out that using the words "blogwank speak" is, in fact, also an example of blogwank speak?

Holy Farg!
Are you even suggesting a chicken and the egg spinaround?
Best daydreams,.........

What about people who have no intro? I've gotten more used to it over the years as twitterisation has occurred, but I used to hate to see it. I had a particular Italian customer that did this and to be honest it did reflect on his personality.

It felt like, FU HHII, I couldn't even be bothered to wish you the best or say hello.
