Well, you have a point, definitely, at least those who NEVER want any OT topics can then have their browser move those posts to /dev/null automagically and avoid spending any time reading them. Better SOME kind of separation - & trusting people's judgement - than going to a moderated list, methinkks? If we all try to keep it in the [OT] category & keep it down to a dull roar, should sorta work out. "Muddling through" isn't perfect, but it beats not making it through Polite e-mail gripes to the offender can sometimes clear things up, too (Sometimes people forget the rules, sometimes people get as distracted as I do with Robin's needing my help - & post to the wrong list even! ) And sometimes people are just plain grumpy & got up on the wrong side of the bed that day (So put the bed against the wall, folks! ) Mark Peter Williamson wrote: > > So, have I got this right, if you put OT in the subject line you can > post any rubbish you like to this list and it will be ok. > > I'm sorry if this adds to the noise but after 4000 bazilion messages on > TV degausing,PC networking and other non PIC stuff, I couldn't bite my > tongue any longer. > -- > Peter Williamson | Phone: +61 15 898934 > Waybeat Pty Ltd | Email: peterw@waybeat.com.au
