It might also mean "On Topic". Or maybe that's what those OT-posters think. BTW, there is something wrong with your keyyyyyyboard..........!!!!!!

It might also mean "On Topic". Or maybe that's what those OT-posters think. I think that it is more the usual problem of topic drift, with nobody ever changing the "Subject: " header line. I must confess that I often forget to do so. And what I find more of a problem is those who elect to type in "OT: " (with the colon), which gets removed and replaced by " " by Outlook Express (and possibly other pseudo-newsreader clients. BTW, there is something wrong with your keyyyyyyboard..........!!!!!! Hmm ... the inverse of what infected mine recently -- you needed a pile diver to get the 'b' key to produce a character. I finally disassembled the keyboard (live), and removed something close to a cat and a half worth of hair -- *everywhere*. :-) Enjoy, DoN. -- Email: | Voice (all times): (703) 938-4564 (too) near Washington D.C. | http://www.d-and-d.com/dnichols/DoN.html --- Black Holes are where God is dividing by zero --- |

I wasn't exactly talking about making peanut butter and jelly sandwiches here...... Crap! I replied to an OT post! Now what are we going to do? As the comic Gallagher would say, "Are you THAT ****ing stupid?" Did you think the subject line "Comment on O/T subject headers" had something to do with setting up a Bridgeport? Or did you think there was some way that discussing O/T subjects might, somehow, be ON topic? |
