68. Hiya -- I don't know what fanned or faved are, but EOM means "End of Message"

You'd use it in the subject line, for instance, if you had a quick pithy remark and you didn't type anything in the body. That way people know they don't have to click to see more of what you wrote -- they know by the EOM there IS no more.

For example: I so agree with the Original Post! EOM

See? also nt or n/t (probably others) stands for "no text" - which means the same thing.

K&R means Kicked and Recommended. Just the mere fact of posting "kicks" a thread up. When you like a post and you want to Recommend it but don't feel like actually saying anything, a K&R will do.

I am the worst at explaining things, but I noticed no one had responded. Hope someone more concise and clear comes along.

See you around!!
