I did not say it was the same category regarding the topic. I said
marking a message with OT shows that the email is an abuse of the
intended audience (in the author's opinion, I should have said). I did
not attack Praedor as he has been an avid participant in this mailing
list and I don't want to be responsible for curttailing that. A warning
just means that I'm trying to enforce the rules, it doesn't mean that
I'm angry.
Having said all of that, here is a two step guideline to writing
messages to any mailing list, not just this one.
1) Compose a subject for your question.
2) If the subject includes OT or Offtopic, delete the email without
sending or send it to the correct forum for that topic.
I'm not mad. I'm just trying to increase the SNR of this mailing list.
And Praedor was right. His question could have been worded only
slightly different and would have been well received. Again, I'm not
mad.
