How this this scenario. There are 19 responders to this subject line 
out of a total, what, 300+. Suppose the other 281+ have already set 
filters to dump anything with an "OT" in the subject line. The other 
19 of us are debating valiantly over whether or not OT posts even 
belong on the list, or should be censored, either by those inclined 
to write them or by filters. (Personally, I like the glimpse through 
other peoples' eyes on subjects away from pianos. Including Dale's 
Porsche, which I'll trade for my '97 Ford Escort wagon)

So here we 19 are, worrying about the other 182+ who in fact are 
completely oblivious to this discussion because, thanks to them 
taking care of themselves, this thread doesn't exist.
