If you opened this not knowing what eom means, the acronym stand for:
End OF Message
i.e. there is nothing inside the post, so you don't need to waste you time opening it, 'cuz all you will see inside is...
END OF MESSAGE
The proper way to let others know that they don't need to open your post is to place these letters at the end of the subject line.
Example:
"Does anyone else here find it interesting how many reads you get on an eom subject post? eom"
There are appropriate variations such as EOM or(eom). Occasionally you may see the lazy ass variant: e (yeah, just plain "e") which I, HalfHour, officially proclaim is unacceptable.
Now, if you were fully aware of the eom, and still opened this post is is for one of two reasons.
First, if you anticipated that since the actual SUBJECT of the post is people who open EOM posts, that I, HalfHour, might have gone ahead and typed something in the body of the post for those less astute... Congratulations! You were spot on.
The second reason could well be that you are one of my rare devotees who looks forward to reading my every written word, and as such you know that occasionally I will post a comment or an occasional dirty limerick inside an eom post because that's the way I roll!
If you have a third reason, keep it to yourself.

At the risk of sounding like 1/2 of a mutual admiration society... I LOVE your posts!!! and miss them greatly when you're not around!
You are correct in what you suspect. My handle may look like the time I may book. But I'll put it like this: it's how long I like to 'kiss' a lady's special spot, to make sure we're BOTH sufficiently hot. how do ya make the little winking smiley???
