Hey - let me ask you a question pls
Without starting a flaming war can you keep politics to an OT post

Politics **** me off and depress me - much less our views differ a bit -but
wouldya pls mark it OT from now on I believe that not to do so would be
contrary to internet and list etiquette


Ya know, at first glance, your request seems reasonable enough, yet on
second thought, it seems like more of your silly, whiny horse****. Let
me ask you some questions:

1) When you saw the subject of the original post, did you honestly
believe that the contents might be "on topic" - that I might have had
some secret fly recipes from the McCain HQ or something?

2) Given 1, above, why did you not only open it, but read it, and then,
feel compelled to reply to it (and not add "OT" to the subject if it's
so friggin' important to you...).

3) Why don't you mark your foul-mouthed lunatic rants as "OT?"

And for the rest, I'd offer that since by convention there really is no
"off topic" on ROFF, the use of "OT" could be argued to be misplaced.
Plus, I give most ROFFians at least enough credit to be able to
determine that something is not FFing-related by the subject line (yeah,
even good ol' Fred - I've no doubt that he was not under the mistaken
impression that the original post was somehow FFing-related).
