Well, since you're thinking of using the archives in this way (and 
others already are) and you like OT posts, I guess the idea of trying 
to keep OT posts out of the archives is a non-starter.  How about the 
idea of placing the posts marked OT in a separate archive?  I notice 
that we have a humor list.  Does anyone actually use that thing? 
Maybe it could be renamed OT, or MISC, or OTHER, or some such, and 
the OT posts put in there.  People that were interested could monitor 
both that archive and the pianotech archive (which would hopefully 
have more directly piano related posts).
