I find this to be a poor solution for many reasons:Or set a filter on your machine to ignore them
1. This is a *newbie* list, and some of the people on it really are newbies who have more pressing issues on their mind than how to set up such a filter.
2. I don't like the idea of setting up new filters every time a new OT subject pops up.
3. Not everybody reads mail continuously. By the time I got around to checking this list there were already 10-20 OT messages clogging up the list.
4. If the signal:noise ration on this list goes down low enough it ceases being a worthwhile mailing list.
This is an e-mail list, not a web forum. Subscribers have no choice but to accept (or somehow process) everything that comes down the line, so please be considerate and keep the OT stuff to a minimum.
