Chiming in on the topic of ... topics, I think that at very least we should
put OT in the subject if the content of the message isn't going to relate to
the essential purpose of this list. I'm not a fan of censorship, but this
list does have a tendency to get *way* out of hand when it comes to jumping
all over the map. Let's just be diligent to put OT in the subject, and put
it before anything else, so when people hear or see that, they can zap the
message into the trash asap.

Cindy and all,
Yes, I agree. 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.

Subject: [bksvol-discuss] No OT? and quiet list
If we honor Tracy's request and don't post any OT topics, and no one has any questions or complaints, the list will be quieter yet. Maybe that's a good thing, but I'll miss the everyone's humor and the interesting articles people find and other discussions that I've found interesting. The discussions about weather and pets and accidents people have had when being guided by sighted friends and relatives and all the other subjects that have come up over the years help to make me feel you people are friends, and I've enjoyed them.
How do the rest of you feel. Do you want to keep the posts strictly to the topics of submitting, scanning, validating, etc.?
Tracy, is there any way you can look for the OT in the subject line quickly and not have to go through all the other other stuff first? Is there any way your e-mail server can put the subject line first?
