Boy did I get "put in my place" at work tonight. I had a young man buying alcohol, and his ID was from South Carolina. He and his friend got a bit smart with me, and I said, "Don't mess with the short Texas lady..." His reply? "Oh, Texas, pfffft. I come from the REAL South!"

I had to look it up also. But, I'm not sure I understand. Do you use it only on your own posts? Why? To warn people to not read your post, because you didn't read it again yourself? It seems that it would be rude to post it about someone else, if you were responding to them? Or am I missing what it really means?
I think sometimes it's used when the whole THREAD is long and detailed, but you want to post something relevant and don't have time to read through it all. In that case, the tl;dr is kind of excusing yourself if you repeat something that's already been brought up in the thread. You're not criticizing anyone in particular so I don't think there would necessarily be hurt feelings...

You're both welcome, and thanks Anh.

Things look better today, although I had some really strange dreams this morning that made me sleep too late. (I wanted to see what happened. _) I don't remember much now, but there were ebook formats involved.

what, you dreamed about ebook formats?

I had a dream within a dream yesterday, in which I rode a bike, then I suddenly knew that the street would abruptly end without any indication (so how did I know that??) and I would fall but I continued riding anyway. I fell flying into the sea right beneath it the sea was normally deep, but there was a sandy beach just some meters away Some boys I liked showed up in the dream too then I woke up. And then I woke up again, wondering if I was still dreaming, still stuck in the 3rd layer of the entire dream

Thanks, Betty. That explained the use a bit better and useful in threads that are pages long.
