The time has come to declare yourself. What kind of person are you?
Do you follow the rules, and have a desire to be polite, correct and to offend no one (n/t, eom)? Are you in such a rush that you figure 'nt' is sufficient, without the "/"?, assuming a basic level of intelligence in your readers? Or do you throw caution (and courtesy) to the wind, and just write your little title heading without inidicating if there's more or not, without worrying about saving other people the time and trouble of clicking, only to be crushed when they see that their immense enjoyment of your post is brutally cut short and, therefore, their eager anticipation of further human contact with you has, at that moment, essentially hit a cold brick wall.
There is one other possibility, as I see it. You may have a strong sense of aesthetics and, when you write that perfect line - perfectly spaced, perfectly worded, making that perfectly to-the-point point - it may just kill you to ruin the looks of it with a blunt, inelegant 'n/t,' or 'nt' or (even more clunky) 'eom.'
All responses will be kept somewhat confidential.
