@leoncowle @uastronomer that's a different case entirely, in that you don't start with "Kind Regards" and then go to DEFCON-1 if you drop the "kind" during correspondence. For the equivalent I suppose you could change to "Utter Lack of Rgds" if you need to, but that does lack a certain subtlety.

@uastronomer the "kind" in "kind regards" does of course have a useful meaning in the understated British way of corresponding, particularly in work type emails. If your British or culturally-British South African correspondent starts writing "regards" during a mail thread instead of the "kind regards" they started with, you can rest assured they are *seething*.
