I really wouldn't bother. If you really have that much time on your hands
Joeri you ought to give up now! People should learn to be more tolerant or
know when to ignore or when to shut up. You cannot have it both ways. You
cannot reply to the list moaning about OT posting, saying it shouldn't be
there. That makes your posting equally bad. We all should know by now the
best way is to simply ignore or not read it.
I'm not claiming to be perfect, but all too often people want to rant about
others too much, which in turn means they themselves are using the list to
make their point, which is no different.

Also, if you transfer OT headed postings to the OT list, people will just
stop using OT in the subject, and then where will you be?

There are too many hypocrites out there!

I don't know if you should just move stuff or what Joeri, but I'm
beginning to think that's the best idea.  At least then we can let an OT
digest sit until we have time to read it, and scan the main list for
info or questions we may be able to help with, and be less likely to
miss something "important."  It's very frustrating to have the mix we've
had lately, and simply putting OT in the subject line deosn't seem to
tip people off that IF they see to do THAT, the message should be SENT
to the OT list.  Damn!  I dunno if it's brain damage or what, but for
Logic users, there sure seems to be a sudden plethora of illogical
assholes, flamers and political junkies invading an otherwise usually
sane forum.  Anyway, my $.02 is yeah, move the crap outa the main
list...  <sigh>

At least I have a positive attitude about my destructive habits.
