Do you sign emails to friends and family?

Generally, yes
I’ll put ‘blah blah blah Simone’
and then there’s my gmail signature which is always there, greyed out.

No. They know from the “from” field that it’s me.

Usually I do. My laptop is set up with my name as my auto signature.

Rarely. Particularly the four word ones I send several times a day to close relatives.

Yep. blah blah blah…..Best brother/son/cousin in the world or something like that.

Yes, most of the time but not always. I do the blah, blah, blah, love, Lilly thing.

Edit: It was thinking about this. It really depends. If it’s just a short note, if I am passing on a link or some small bit of information I might just write: Thought you might be interested in this and then include the link, in the same way I might have, in the old days, passed on an article from a newspaper or magazine and slapped a post-it on it saying the same thing. If the email is more like a letter I will actually include a salutation, just a first name and then sign off with Love, Lilly.

@gailcalled I initially read your answer as “the four letter word ones”, which had me making the O.O face before realizing my error :)

Nope.

I sign almost all of my emails – unless I am angry at the person to whom it is going.

Yes. Everyone I know complains if I don’t sign.

Rarely, but I do use my partial email address and add a funny twist at times, like yesterday to a friend joking about something I did…..

No, the e-mail tells them who I am.

Yes. My family would think I was weird if I didn’t.

It is a hangover from earlier forms of communication but I almost always sign my emails.

@Bellatrix Us old folks are set in our ways, aren’t we?

And what’s the harm? When people sent each other letters it was obvious who the letter came from, yes? That’s not really the issue. I guess it is more of a habit than anything, not an matter of what is the right way to do things. It’s just how I do it and what feels right to me and what, apparently feels right to other people too. And as others have commented, if people get upset with you not signing your emails, what’s the harm in accommodating them and signing your emails?

I agree @lillycoyote. It feels rude not to put my name at the end of my emails.

Very rarely, almost never.
