 I could turn off OT, but I don't want to have to turn off EE because it 
is a good place for one, me to ask questions about my projects and two, 
sometimes I see a question I can help with and three, I like reading about 
electronics topics that come up.

And I understand where Russel is coming from.  When you get to know a 
group you want to include more and more of what matters to you with them.  
THey are your friends, people who you want to tell your opinion to and get 
theirs on yours.  Thats why there is an OT board, frankly.. so you can be 
social without getting in the way of what the list is meant for.

I'm not going to quit the list because of it, but plenty of people are 
going to filter EE and that means those people won't be able to help me or 
others who post questions, and that is a loss.  It's a great resource.
