Well, yeah, but it should be restricted to those situations where formality is necessarily. In an usual conversation or discussion it is really superfluous.

We are here because the Universe offers conditions so life can evolve,to the point where(at least one)species,in a small planet around a star lost between millions of galaxies,is able to ask itself:What was my origin? (M. Gleiser)

I was brought up to be very formal when addressing a person or people that I didn't personally know. I used it in letters/emails and Cadet business. When looking for new work, or contacting the head office of my workplace etc.

So when I write a post that is directed at people[s] that I don't know, I like to be formal and so I sign it "- DE". It's me being respectful to the person[s] I'm addressing.

In all honesty, whether you like it or not is no consequence to me, and it really shouldn't be any of your concern. I know you can see my name anyway, and that you know it's me posting. But it's a formality and a sign of respect to those I am addressing.

Hope that cleared that up for you.


Defaulter got angry, relax bro there's no need to bite people.
