In Reply to: Since when is *NT* a REQUIREMENT?? posted by Arturo Bandini on July 01, 2003 at 16:28:36:
anticipation, only to be disappointed w/no text and no warning of no text. Ok, I'm over-stating, but I don't like when people do it (or don't do it) consistently. My time is soooooo valuable.
: I noticed that in the last board Elmo Machete (http://www.viewaskew.com/newboard/messages494/3079.html) admonished a poster for NOT putting *NT* in their subject line when they had no added text inside the post.
: Sure, it can be a nice thing to do if you remember, since some people have slow connections (although when I'm home on the broadband, I could give a shit) -- but since when is it a requirement? Does it really cause that much strain on the boards each time we click-through on a post, or is Elmo just being pissy about wasting a few seconds (more) of his life on the Internet?
: Just curious...
