Agreed. As it was, I had a hard enough time remembering if OT was "On
Topic", "Off Topic", or "Out There"--you start putting this alphabet soup
on everything and the few brain cells I have left will start smoking from
the OL (OverLoad). My feeble minded solution to the noise is to sort the
posts by subject and then read a few. It doesn't take that long to mentally
assign a topic a C (Crap) and delete the whole lot even if there are
seventy-five of them. Surprisingly satisying sometimes--and anyway, one
person's C is another's G.
