In the various MUAs I've used since joining the list, I've had similar recipes, usually just sending the OT messages to their own folder for perusal or disposal at a later time. I don't think there's anything wrong with a "little" OT every once in a while; the two former beekeepers we have on the list waxing philosophic is fine, the occasional "How 'bout them Red Sox!" or the not-really-Linux-but-sorto-kinda-related "What's available for television in parts of NH" is pretty much on-topic, and I appreciate the efforts of the posters to point out that it's not really fully on-topic with the "OT" subject line; let's not punish them for that. I think we all just need to recognize that it's easy for folks to get carried away, and that a request from another mail subscriber of "Enough!" or "Let's not go there" ought to be respected. I don't want to be the Mail Nazi, nor do I wish that on someone else. -- Ted Roche Ted Roche & Associates, LLC http://www.tedroche.com _______________________________________________ gnhlug-discuss mailing list gnhlug-discuss@mail.gnhlug.org http://mail.gnhlug.org/mailman/listinfo/gnhlug-discuss/
