    When i first heard of this praxis, i though that “wow, how stupid must they be to not make a rule about signing off with the same phrase”.

    In reality this was probably part of some poor engineers recommended instruction, which was promptly ignored because of pavlovian conditioning. Or ignorance by those in charge of making the messages.

    Can’t teach stupid.

      Oh it was, AFAIK they were supposed to switch some settings regularly, but didn’t, so they used the same keys way more often than they were supposed.
