Unfortunately, sometimes in the heat of the moment, as it were, the OT doesn't get included. >> I do appreciate those who use OT to preface their subject lines when posting topics that HAVE NO BUSINESS BEING ON THIS LIST.  I know that the list monitors filter out some SPAM... Should we get the list monitors to filter out any posts which contain words like "Jesus", "Hussein", "Iraq", "Bush", etc.?  No, we can't do that...there wouldn't be any more posts about "Bush &Lane uprights" or "Hussein-brand damper felts" or "Keytone made my hammers hard as Iraq"... So simply delete.  Some days half the posts get deleted by this method.  So what?  It's a matter of a few keystrokes, and it's gone. "Type in...that OT label..."
