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
:-)
