> What does tl;dr stand for in that case? Umm... It stands for (thats the usage Ive seen often enough anyway...) "If you, dear reader, have tl;dr-ed the above, then here's a summary" Here is what wikipedia says: | "tl;dr" can range from a brilliant and informative disquisition being | given up due to a reader's lack of endurance, interest, or | intelligence, to a clustered composition of such utter failure to | communicate that it has left the capable reader with a headache; | judging this range is very subjective. > BTW, it makes little sense having a summary at the end of the post as > one has to read all the contents first! :-D Yes, admittedly what Ive seen (often though not always) is a indicator at the top pointing to a summary at bottom. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
