Where to put the a tl;dr or summary is going to vary depending on the piece. For example, an email from I.T. warning about a change will include the most important information and what users need to do upfront, and then may include further details beneath that for those who are curious. Having the tl;dr at the beginning means people are more likely to see it. In other pieces of writing it makes more sense to have it at the end. For example, someone sharing a story might include the tl;dr at the end to avoid spoiling anything for someone reading the whole thing. **tl;dr** If the tl;dr is important information, put it at the top. If it's for convenience, put it at the bottom.
