Ah I see. It's just that a majority of the posts from you I've read just so happened to either end in well... "cheers" or "narf" in the past.

Well thanks for the informative answer regarding that. Pretty cool.

How I end my posts is not fixed. It depends on the mood of the post and what sort of tone I want to send across to the reader. It could be snarky, it could be snide, it could even be mellow.

I think it would be morbid (or at least awkward) if I end some of my more "serious" posts with "Cheers" as it would send mixed signals to the reader. The habit of annotating my posts with smilies and such came about because I tend to be pretty snarky at times, and without the benefit of body language, there is a tendency for some people to take it "too seriously".

Cheers.

Now this is just an odd and random question. But Skane, I've noticed that...recently you went from attaching "Cheers!" to at the end of your posts. Why the change?

Soon, I'll be able to call you all whippersnappers. :P

Enjoy the prime of your life while you can. It's aaaaaaaaallll downhill from here.

Happy birthday!

happy birthday!

Congrats on hitting the third decade. Happy Birthday!

In other words, there's not alot (if any) suitable substitutes from the standard workhorse ?
