I dont agree one bit.

The only list without OT posts is a moderated list. This is a well run list and
Doug does a great job at moderating and kicking OT's to the general list if
needed. OT posts are what make the list has personalities instead of just
handles that supply answers. OT posts let people unwind and crack jokes. Just
like any social gathering, nothing stays on topic, its how the topic changes are
handled that dictate the success of the gathering. And you know, or should know,
the history of OT posts here which either quickly run their course or get kicked
to general. That, IMHO, is what makes this list better than others of the same
catagory.
