- pfundstein 6y agoA TLDR is traditionally at the bottom, but there's no rule against putting it at the top.
- cortesoft 6y agoBut no one knows what that means, so you would have to explain the whole thing every time you use it, defeating the purpose of a short acronym. Say tl;dr in the first sentence and everyone knows what it means.

- frogamic 6y agoSo still relatively few people.
- edoceo 6y agoNo, you don't label them you just follow good writing practice and put the important details first, details and data second
- zeroimpl 6y agoInteresting, seems pretty similar to an Executive Summary which also would have been very useful here.
