buggeryHi there.
The LJ-cut tag is a wonderful thing.
When you use it, though? Please don't put important information in the cut-tag text and then not repeat it in the body of your post.
I can't always remember what you said by the time the entry loads -- and what about people who get to your entry via a direct link and never see the journal home or friends page where the cut-text appears in the first place?
If you want us to know something, like the context of the cut-tagged section of the post (especially when there are multiple cuts categorised only in the cut-tag text!), the title of your story, the book you're reviewing, the significance of the anecdote you're relating, etc., please repeat it after the cut tag. Like this. (Click here to see the cut-tagged view of this post.)
Thank you,
the Jack
