5. My alternative?

Just say what you have to say and leave it at that.

8. On long threads, it's very helpful.

I'm irritated when somebody DOESN'T use the "n/t" to note that there's nothing but the subject line. Nothing like clicking on post 243 that has an intriguing subject line, only to pull up the post and find it empty. Bleah.

9. polite habit....

some of us from the very early days of chat and dial-up find the rule still applies, esp. in very fast threads like the ones following C-Span today. :hi:

10. Maybe. n/t

[Redneck Socialist]

12. Only when people put it in the body of the message.

I mean :wtf: . The point of n/t is to tell people that there is no more message so you don't click on their post. Putting n/t in the message defeats the purpose.

So yeah, when it is missused it pisses me off.

13. I find that funny!

Of course I usually don't go too far into really long threads (300+).
I usually just show all up until there (fast connection)

[Viva_La_Revolution]

16. Yes!!

nt! lol

[Lost4words]

14. Not as much as I am annoyed by people who do not use (n/t)

Am I the only one that gets annoyed with people who dont use either eom or n/t?

I get so tired of opening individual posts with snappy headings only to find a blank screen! Thats why you should use eom and or n/t for END OF MESSAGE or NO TEXT.

Some uo us have mud slow dial up connections and selecting VIEW ALL on a large thread takes painfully long to load.

I am sorry you are annoyed but try to have some consideration and understanding why IT IS A GOOD IDEA. I call it courtesy.

:spank: :nuke:

17. and using ...

... to show there is text.

[mdhunter]

15. Maybe you should try the friendlier (nt) instead. (nt)

[jonnyblitz]
