If the OT gets too frequent; as it sometimes does on one of the lists I'm subscribed to, I just activate an "OT pop filter" in K-Mail and it never leaves the mail server. Usually (once a week or thereabouts) I'll use the ISP's web-mail interface and delete the 'download later' messages after browsing through them for any interesting tidbits. > > > I do not want to be a nuisance to others, but nor should they be a > > nuisance to me. I'd never characterize Anne as any sort of nuisance. The occasional OT on this list is nearly always fun; at least until some "list Nazi" gets a "wild hair across his arse." > > Quite.

Another was a (sort of) reference to a tag at the end of a post mentioning that I was going to see Star Trek Nemesis on opening night. I dropped the subject in deference to others that hadn't seen it yet, but wanted to, so I wouldn't spoil it for them. I didn't think much of the movie BTW. I'm glad it wasn't my money that paid admission for it. <g> > Sir Robin Regards; -- Charlie Edmonton,AB,Canada Registered user 244963 at http://counter.li.org Smile! You're on Candid Camera.
