I usually think of "Over and out" as being effectively equivalent to "You can respond if you want to, but I'm not going to be listening". -- The Wanderer The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore all progress depends on the unreasonable man. -- George Bernard Shaw
