> When a party is ready to hang up the phone he writes four stars.

I wish we had a convention like this for text messages. Some generally accepted way to “hang up” that isn’t taken as rude.

It’s a nonissue with people you text frequently, the conversation just waxes and wanes naturally. Maybe it’s just me, but for texts with acquaintances, distant relations, etc, theres no good way to end the interaction like there is over the phone. You can’t just text “alright I gotta go, talk to you later”.
