Sometimes it's difficult to remember which news group is using which
protocol to indicate off topic. Besides, we would have missed your little
bit of witticism if your filter had discarded these, Martin. :-)
As to VERY OFF, you are aware unrefigerated fish (stories or otherwise) will
be "very off" by the third day. This is day two, so it was a bit of
forewarning!
But you're right, and I was wrong. Any etymological topic that allows
members to more fully understand the perhaps subtle emanations of another
member should NEVER be considered off topic, especially when the user
him/herself queries their own usage of a common but poorly understood phrase
or idiom.
Perhaps I have done members a disservice and should republish all of these
topics sans the "very off" reference. :-)
