Kind regards

re this post yesterday, I read it out to my colleagues at work, I don't open lj there but can see relies in my email. I'd only read my bit and The Tweenie apologised. She thinks it's set up on her web email link (she's got rid of it in the staffroom). It was standard fare in her last two offices.

I wasn't getting at her, she seldom does it now, I said sorry for making her feel guilty.

LOL

Kind regards

what does it actually mean? You can't have Kind regards surely, you could regard someone in a kindly way I guess you could send someone kind regards via someone else. But to say it direct just doesn't make sense.

Go back to sincerely, if you are sincere when yopu snipe at me that's fine, because that's you.

It's like saying

• I don't want to be mean but... beause you always are following that
  or
• I don't want to be rude but... because you are about to be

can you tell it gets up my nose?

It's wishywashy and lazy.

I guess you could almost use it to a stranger when you are sending mild condolences or some other wet type situation but please I don't care what the policy of your place is, it's just horrid, find a nicer way to end your letters or emails

Please, I'm begging you, find something else to say

oops it set me off again, sorry, kind regards
