What does n/t mean?
I see it everywhere and it drives me crazy. What does it mean? It looks ridiculous and makes me think evil things (I know that's horrible of me). Please explain!

5. Depends on how you read the threads.
Some people don't expand the threads, they just go back and forth and pick the posts they want to read. If a subject line has n/t or eom(end of message) in it, they know not to click the thread. Saves time.
