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!
