OT stuff, archives

[Richard Brekne]

I agree that there is no point to achiving all the extraneous nonsense. 
But then we need someone  to do the sort every day. Time consuming at best.

I think the most practical solution is to try and keep this stuff at a 
minimum, and mark OT posts clearly. But I'm all for a filtering system 
for the archives if its doable.
