Many Threaders
do not use the NEXT button. Instead they use the BACK button and look only at the message "titles", if you will. Looking at a thread this way can save a lot of time, you don't have to read everything.

Sometimes I use title mode only, that is the or mode that you may have seen me use, you must read the post. In conversation I often use <eom>, or end of message, to allow those who use the BACK button on their browser to avoid a load of the message, which requires time, the <eom> signifies to those readers that the comment is complete, or End Of Message. Title vs Conversation, or BACK vs NEXT is a very large part of communication here on SI.

Title Mode : An Example
I have a link here that demonstrates Title Mode. The message is very effective for BACK people, not so good for NEXT people.

Go this link and scroll down to look at Titles only from 11539 -11543
