Well Met?

[Tarheel]

I use the greeting in all my introductions of new members here on the forum. As Jack has pointed out, it is archaic. It is a substitute for the formal letters of introduction that were written to accompany apprentices or indentured servants when they arrived to their new homes, businesses or even social contacts in other places.
The letters would usually be written by someone known to the person receiving the letter or by someone of social standing that vouched for the letter bearer. I like the flair of the greeting. Since there is a decorum of civility among us here, I find it fitting. Think of it as a letter of recommendation. I am sure there are Canadians involved as well as Southern US gentmen of culture.
