I agree, but I also dislike getting letters signed with just "XY Z".
I'd much rather get a letter signed with their first name so that if
I wished to ring up the organization I wouldn't have to say
"I'd like to speak to an XY Z" .. "Hello XY Z" etc.  Knowing the
gender (Ms. XY Z) makes it better because "Hello, can I please speak
to Ms. Z" sounds somewhat better.  What is the Politically Correct
way to sign your name, First Last is what I use.
