I also agree that cheers is fine as a closing salutation. I believe that cheers is commonly used in Great Britain and Australia and Groups.IO is an international service

When you posted the first time, one of the search nodes went down, causing a delay in posting, which caused the web server to time out and give you a 504. One of my main objectives for December is to reduce our dependence on and perhaps eliminate the existing search system (elasticsearch), because it's been so unreliable. Thanks, Mark

Subject: Re: [beta] Canned (or I suspect canned) "Message Not Approved" Message Sincerely sounds very formal.
It's a rejection message. Formal is what is needed. There are two novels that can change a bookish fourteen-year-old's life: The Lord of the Rings and Atlas Shrugged. One is a childish fantasy that often engenders a lifelong obsession with its unbelievable heroes, leading to an emotionally stunted, socially crippled adulthood, unable to deal with the real world. The other, of course, involves orcs. ~ John Rogers

Yes, one can be cheerfully rejected or sincerely rejected, or formally rejected.

Thanks. Just FYI this thread got duplicated because when I tried to post, twice, I got a 504 message. When I went back to the messages list it was there, twice, and I deleted one of them. I have never gotten a 504 before and certainly wouldn't have expected the message to have posted when I got one.
