7. In early internet and bbs speak...

just to answer your question, on boards like this, when it is beyond 20 posts, only the headlines of each message is displayed, unless you click view all. So putting N/T at the end of that line(not in the body, that is annoying) means there is nothing beyond it. EOM serves a similar purpose, though people here have a tendency to use them interchangably. EOM was usually used for text files and long articles on BBS's to indicate the End of Message, though used for message boards as well.
