It depends. It's fine to be original, as long as it doesn't interfere
with what you're trying to do. In this case, you're trying to
communicate with people, and I suspect some are put off by the
"Wassssup" thing to the point where they might not read the rest of
your message.

I apologize for this. I don't think I said this very well. I should
have handled this more gracefully but I didn't spend enough time on
the wording.

I don't have a problem with Hasta La Vista, or any reasonable
(i.e. brief) signature - heck, I have a signature too, as Jeremy
pointed out. But salutations (like your "Wassssup") are generally not
used on Lugnet.
I'm sorry if the tone of my response was hurtful. That wasn't my
intent.
