Quote: Griff @ August 26 2010, 3:54 PM BSTI have never been sure whether to use "Yours sincerely" or "Yours faithfully" when concluding a messageboard post addressed to an anonymous individual. On one hand, tradition dictates that "Dear <name>" requires a "sincerely" valediction. On the other hand when the name in question is quite blatantly an off-colour nom-de-plume such as "Juan Kerr" there is an argument for using the colder and more distant "faithfully". Perhaps it would be safest overall to use "Your most humble and obedient servant".
You can only imagine how long I wrestled with that conundrum. I think I fell on the right side of etiquette in the end though.

It leaves me cold and I find her personality bloody annoying - but what do I know, I'm only a bloke....Horses for courses.
I've only seen one episode but I rather enjoyed the jolly great giant.
