Hi, I think tagging your messages OT is not really analogous with smoking outside someone's home. I think it's rather like tagging a podcast or radioshow as 'Explicit'. I think it allows those who do not want to read it to safely skip it, knowing it is about something they do not care about. I agree that off-topic messages in an existing thread are quite annoying, but I think a thread labelled OT from the get-go is a different matter. No vengeance either, I am just clarifying my actions and explaining my opinion.
