Interesting that of the 73 OT posts, a good chunk of them were to
discourage OT posting.

I don't know why we call it "Off Topic" when it's certainly something we
talk about. :-)

For less that whatever it's worth, here are my unofficial tallies
Technical / Non-technical postings to Pianotech for the week of 3/17/03
to 3/23/03 :


Technical = 359
Non-Technical = 73

Those subjects that I separated as "Non-Technical" were as follows:
*Number in ( ) indicates multiple responses

I wonder how closely the above  list conforms to the way others might
have categorized these subjects?
Presenting this data is in NO WAY meant to suggest judgement as to the
merit of these posts.  Over the next few weeks, and even looking back at
previous weeks/months, it would be interesting to see how clearly (or
not) the lines defining technical relevance can be drawn.   If there
appears to be some consensus, then a OT list, paralleling PIANOTECH,  as
I described last week, might be a very viable option, yet, even on such
a list, I suspect there would still be the need to establish protocols,
to prevent it from deteriorating into chaos, or being usurped by the
more articulate or prolific subscribers.
