Interesting. I was surprised to find my usage not described in that
Wikipedia page. In some places, particularly, slashdot.org, I have
seen "tl;dr" used also as a self-summarizing of one's own posting. Of
course, I see now that I probably should have placed it at the top for
better clarity, or used, "tl;dr version:," perhaps.
From http://knowyourmeme.com/memes/tldr
"Usage
Most of the time, tl;dr is used to call out another user on the length
of their post. However, in cases of more courteous exchanges and
serious discussions, tl;dr can be self-invoked by the original poster
as a disclaimer to the readers. It is then paired with a brief summary
of the longer original text."
