Waaaaaay back when, I used to visit at a Jewish friend's home from time to time
and often ate supper with the family, as Ralph would eat supper at our house
when he visited. Invariably, his mother would present me with a "to-go" of
supper leftovers with the admonition, "Take, eat. Enjoy! Enjoy!" 

Which is by way of explaining where the ENJOY! admonition in sig comes from.
Been doing that since I've been writing letters to people - either on paper or
electronically.
