No Need To Respond - N N T R

 

I invite you to get in on the Ground Floor of a new movement that will make the World a Better Place.

At its core is a simple habit, both unobtrusive and inoffensive that can make the day of any recipient.

To wit: at the end of any communication you wish to send , and where a response is not sought, ADD the tag line:
NNTR - no need to respond

This 4 letter add-on is the polar counterpart to the cosmopolitan RSVP - a complete opposite in meaning, meaning "do respond""please".

Now, about that Movement.

The idea is to proselytize for for NNTR.
NNTR being useful guidance to your reader.
Guidance that should minimize the Time that one might otherwise spend on the communique.
And Time is darn near like money they all say.

By adding NNTR you might almost say: Look how much money I am saving you, dear reader.

Here's the rub though.
The program is flawed if the reader does not spend Less Time.
And worse if NNTR causes the Reader to spend more time.
And that, regrettably is possible in certain circumstances.

Here I have in mind a scenario where only the short form NNTR was added,
and the poor Reader was compelled to google NNTR -
which for the present moment would yield worse than dismal results.

So we want to promote awareness of what the initialism NNTR means,
with the idea that in time it will become well known for what it stands for,
and folks won't be wasting time figuring out what those 4 letters mean.

And we do that by nudging folks to, for the present time anyways,
add the 4 corresponding words immediately after the initials.
