	[Hmmm, previous person forgot to sign] About the title text, "he's also happy to not receive notifications that the texter is composing a response in a blank note file.", this is absolutely unquesionably the incorrect interpretation. No matter which side of the comic's conversation is Randall, this must be the other way around. Since Randall prefers knowing when the other person is writing back to him - as stated in the title text - he most definitely would also prefer to receive Writing-In-A-Note notifications. His objection could only be that he's glad that using a Note keeps HIS activity secret, that they don't know he's doing it.

At the second attempt she types more but then she cancels again, then no action, and finally just a kind response. ALL THIS is shown in the comic, but maybe it's not Megan.

 ::::::::It doesn't matter which person in the comic is Randall.  The situation is bad for both of them.  It is very, very clear that, as the others have suggested, "opened a blank note to compose a reply" means someone is writing a reply in another application to prevent typing notifications.  It is an anti-notification technique, and notifications for an anti-notification technique would be completely counterproductive.  That's the logic behind the title text - Randall is glad this imaginary, counterproductive, and terrible feature doesn't exist.  Again: it doesn't matter, ''at all'', who is typing.  The grammar basically makes any other interpretation impossible - he's definitely saying, "I can tolerate ''normal'' typing notifications, but I'm glad these silly hypothetical notifications aren't real."--[[User:Mythnut|Mythnut]] ([[User talk:Mythnut|talk]]) 17:18, 11 September 2017 (UTC)

 :Indeed, the inherent ambiguity is almost as frustrating when you're on the other end, sending a reply. Just yesterday a colleague interrupted me as I was typing a crucial reply over IM, and I'm sure it must have looked like I was indecisive when I wasn't. I would prefer the option to turn them off as a sender, as a matter of privacy. I suppose I should start opening new notes to compose replies.  [[Special:Contributions/172.68.142.101|172.68.142.101]] 01:32, 9 September 2017 (UTC)

 »''In the caption below the screens Randall reveals that the three-dotted(-animation) is his preferred version to get be informed that someone else is working on a reply to him.''« Huh?

 I also very much disagree with the title text. He just says he'd rather have notifications than not. But he's glad that opening up a separate note to compose the reply doesn't also have a notification. Nothing about getting blank messages or preferring the "..." style notification. I'm sure "____ is typing" has all the same characteristics given in the comic.
