I'm another lurker, for want of a better term, but I've been a lurker for a long time. Since this is a Microsoft Office list and the Queen's name is Linda, I think it's her privilege to, in effect, keep it on topic. I can see in some tunnel vision way, this might be referred to as censorship. In my opinion, it's just opening the door to God knows what. Once you decide you can discuss IE, OE, photoshop PSP and whatever other program you might have an interest in, where does it stop? Who decides when the OT thead has outrun it's usefullness? Do we have to start taking votes on when a thread has truly become OT? This list has,in my opinion, grown into a list with such knowledgeable members on the topic of OFFICE, that you can get virtually any office question either answered, or if not answered ,pointed in the right direction. If you change the groups aim this late in the game, maybe the office experts go to find an Office only list. My opinion is why mess with a winning formula? After all this is an Office list! ************************************************************* You are receiving this mail because you subscribed to mso@xxxxxxxxxxxxx or MicrosoftOffice@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To send mail to the group, simply address it to mso@xxxxxxxxxxxxx To Unsubscribe from this group, send an email to mso-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the word "unsubscribe" (without the quotes) in the subject line.
