[Avodah] Chosmeinu

[Poppers, Michael]

In Avodah Digest, Vol 27, Issue 174, RLK responded to RAE:
>> If the words of the piyyut "Berosh hashono yikoseivu, uveyom tzom kippur yeichoseimu" are correct, (mirrored by the the way we greet people after Rosh Hashono - Gemar Chasimo Tovoh) why do we wait until Neiloh to say "Chosmeinu" in Ovinu Malkeinu? Should we not start saying it after Rosh Hashono? <<
> My personal answer:
> It terms of greeting other people, you assume they were all written for
chayim on RH and just need a gmar chatima tova to seal the deal. <
Forgive me if I make no sense, but how does wishing someone a "g'mar chasimah tovah" demonstrate that you consider him a tzaddiq who was already nechtam l'chayyim on RhSh?  (This is why I prefer to leave any chasimah-related term out of personal bein-keseh-l'Asor greetings, a fortiori bein YhK l'Hosha'na Rabba.)  Thanks. 

All the best from
