 |
|
Hon'ble and dishon'ble Members,
Since 99% of the posts in this group are Off-topic, and us members have
gotten used to Off-topic posts, I propose that anyone who wants to post
something that is actually ON-topic (umm... yeah, that would be
relating to MCSE) should prefix "OT" before his subject line.
The the new definition of "OT" will then be : "On-Topic". In other
words, being On-topic would render you to be Off-topic, simply because
when Off-topic topics number in the vast majority, then the On-topic
posts are just a hindrance to the group.
What do you think ?

I appreciate the sentiment.
I preface OT before anything off topic so Ben Smith, or whoever cleans up
the messes I leave around here, has an easy(er) time identifying what to
delete. For that reason, I'm not likely to change that pattern.
Truth be told, there should just be a microsoft.public.cert.exam.mcse.ot
group where everything OT gets moved to. Problem is, any post of an on topic
nature in this group will become OT within 3 seconds of Neil reading it.

Actually, I believe the correct method of flagging off topic is [OT].
If you just use OT, then some programs like OE think your OT is an RE
and strips it off. Then by the proposed method your OT would become
OT.
I'm calling a TO.

Seeing as how the V.P. is such a V.I.P. shouldn't we keep the P.C. on the
Q.T. 'cause if it leaks to the V.C. he could become a M.I.A. and then we'd
all be put out on K.P. |

I think before we continue this discussion, we need to answer the following
question:
WTF is a topic? |
