The group was founded in 1959 and has since evolved from a group promoting traditional Basque culture to a paramilitary group with the goal of gaining independence for the Greater Basque Country.[4][5] ETA is the main organisation of the Basque National Liberation Movement and is the most important participant in the Basque conflict. ETA declared ceasefires in 1989, 1996, 1998 and 2006, but subsequently broke them. However, on 5 September 2010, ETA declared a new ceasefire[6] that is still in force – moreover, on 20 October 2011 ETA announced a “definitive cessation of its armed activity”

Some of us are trying to be considerate of the future historians who will end up going back and analyzing every single word we’ve ever written in order to figure out precisely when we went crazy.

Nice.

It’s for added content that’s not quite acute enough to be theta.

To be honest, I don’t understand why people bother. Who cares?

I appreciate it. Sometimes people will respond to posts within the 5 minutes, and the original poster will be editing at the same time, resulting in confusion. The “ETA” tag can explain the gap.

It’s a historical curiosity left over from the 19th Century, when early Morse operators would smugly sign off every message as Early Telegraph Adopter.

ETA – what does it stand for?

It stands for Etta [sic] James, legendary blues singer, who died this year. Her signature song was “At Last,” so when someone wants to add a bot mot to a post, he says “ETA,” which means at last he thought of something important to add.

RIP, Etta James.
