Talk:Tl;dr

I suppose it's due to fannish drift, but I often use -- and understand -- tl;dr as 'too long, don't read'; I may have read it, found it long and uninteresting, and am warning others not to bother.--Lian 11:53, 4 October 2008 (UTC)

True. I've used it as a warning before as well. --Seperis 17:39, 4 October 2008 (UTC)

I found that a little explanation was still lacking, so I added a bitty bit, but this sentence here might not make any sense. My brain is pretty fried, so uhm, does it? Y/N? Corrections? If the quality of the post is in a negative relation to its length, it is a case of tl;dr. --Lian 18:39, 4 October 2008 (UTC)

You're making me get out my maths, but I think it's more "Let one stand for the level of interest a post must have in order to justify reading. If the quality of post divided by the length of the post is less than one..." Which seems a bit more wordy than it is enlightening, or to put it another way, tl;dr. --Betty 02:18, 25 October 2008 (UTC)
