If messages are off-topic, it definitely does help to have the OT, but not only that, it does help if the subject line is changed to reflect the change in topic. That's not meant personally to anyone, because I'm well aware of how much easier it is to just hit reply and forget about the subject line. I do that sometimes, too, myself, so I'm no more perfect than the next person! *smile* I do enjoy the discussions, although what with school, I can't participate in most of them, but they're definitely making for some interesting reading in between studying for finals! *smile* Take care.

I enjoy the off-topic discussions. Not only are they sometimes very informative, but there are times when they add humor and a smile to my day. I appreciate the OT heading in the subject line as well; although, generally the subject gives the topic away. Just my opinion for whatever it's worth.
