The use of <OT>

[Tony Alfrey]

I am opposed to the need for a specific off-topic list.  With virtually 
no exception, this list handles itself well and I personally like the 
<OT> banter interspersed with the usual linux stuff.  Lonnie has 
insisted that I use the <OT> prefix for non-linux-specific stuff because 
it allows him and others to filter out <OT> from his mail stream.  This 
sounds perfectly reasonable and workable.  But now I see that he is 
being insistent on all <OT> content going to the general list.  This 
destroys the character of the list and I think it should be rejected 
unless the list somehow decays into 50% flame war/rant/abuse like the 
SuSE list.

Thank you
