: 1) N/T means "no text," as in "don't bother clicking on this post b/c there is nothing in the body to read"

: 2) Gabe's just being rude as poo! Why would anyone check the Summaries for an explanation of internet shorthand? It's not like M.E. asked "So, who are these Jay and Silent Bob dudes?" Would you expect him to automatically think to check the summaries if he didn't know that "b/c" above was shorthand for "because"?

When you registered did you happen to see the section which said 'If this is your first time here, please read the summaries' - That's why I would expect them to already know.. And before you ask.. Yes, I did read before I posted..
