All this OT stuff...

NOTE: This will be my ONLY message to the list on this subject. I will not reply except via private E-mail. Ya know, when I first joined CLASSICCMP, I joined because I felt it would be a good resource to aid in my work with DEC systems (notably VAXen and PDP), and a meeting place for those who still knew which end of a soldering pencil to use. So far, it has proven to be both, and I've been pretty happy with it. I couldn't care less about the occasional flame war. Such things are inevitable. I'll simply filter it and get on with life. HOWEVER -- Am I the only one getting -really- fed up with all the 'OT:' and 'Re: OT' subject lines and off-topic messages? If a subject is off-topic for the list, then it is off-topic for the list and should, IMO, be taken to private E-mail. Just because you mark it OT does not, in my view, make it OK to clutter the list with it. I've installed a filter at my end that should dump most, if not all, messages with OT: in the subject line. However, the point remains that I should not have had to do so in the first place. Please take OT's elsewhere. Ok? Thanks! -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Bruce Lane, Owner and head honcho, Blue Feather Technologies http://www.bluefeathertech.com Amateur Radio:(WD6EOS) E-mail: kyrrin(a)bluefeathertech.com SysOp: The Dragon's Cave (Fido 1:343/272, 253-639-9905) "Our science can only describe an object, event, or living thing in our own human terms.
