[Shotimes] Sad, really

[Ron Nottingham]

He's not going to get away from any OT stuff over there, either.  Someone
has already posted several times today on TechSHO about non-tech stuff, but
it was about a SHO, anyway.

Some OT is OK, all OT is not.  I have seen some really great mail lists dry
up and disappear because of it being "too formal" and not allowing any
banter.  I have also seen some great mail lists die because of all OT posts.

Sad to say...  You guys/gals have me until there is nothing left of my SHO
:-)
