2. Hey, thanks! ...

Of course the next question isn't as important, but I'm still baffled by some acronyms here (like eom)... I'm sure they'll be more obvious in time.

:hi:

4. End Of Message

Same as N/T, which means No Text.

Don't be afraid to ask;)

8. eom- end of message. I don't know why one needs

a warning that the message has ended, but people do it all the time

15. It's useful for those who don't use "view all" to view a post

and someone simply replies in the subject line with no message to follow. Just saves people an extra step and a few seconds.

16. Ok thanks

13. Speaking of "EOM", does anybody remember "NNNN"?

Damn, I just really dated myself.

7. There is one I like better, but I don't restrict it to DU
