Firstly, yes, I'm trying to get back into things. School happened, stuff happened, and most of the time both were happening at the same time. But now I'm trying to get back into this. I've revived my twitter and started a tumblr and Blip.fm and flickr, and in my recent communications saw another style of signature, and I was wondering how this works. You make a very good point, as do Alex and Pierre. I thank all of you very much for the clarification. .uicai

If {mu'o} is supposed to signal the end of the transmission, anything after that would be disregarded, and the self-introduction conventionally put at the end of emails and letters, if put after the {mu'o} instead of before, would seem to be excluded from the message. So when I actually think about it, it seems like {mi'e _________ mu'o} would make more sense than the more common {mu'o mi'e ________ } I more commonly see. I'm wondering whether my friend has has an insight missed by the majority of the most vocal lojbanists, or if there is some reason for the common form that I have not yet considered.

Firstly, are you the same skaryzgik that hasn't been on here in a very, very long time?
Secondly, mu'o is much like the English "Sincerely,". Anything that comes after it is not to be taken as pertaining to the conversation.
Jon Jones,
Sincerely
