[Elecraft] 'Q' signal trivia

[David Gilbert]

Pray tell, why must we do "better"??   And what on earth is "better" 
about it??    What was "right" for formal message handling doesn't mean 
diddly for social, casual conversation.   Getting all rigid and anal 
about a friendly signoff just makes our hobby look silly, old, and 
intolerant.
