Techsters,

It's all well and good to poo-poo off topic postings as just
harmless diversions, but if allowed to propagate it ends up
chasing away core groups of the subscibers who can't
wade through the off topic postings (..."I know this is not
related to Technet, but...") and jokes.

If everyone took the liberty to break the rules we all agreed
to when we signed up, the list would be useless.

I'd suggest there's plenty of other venues to joke around
in, and that folks consider abiding by the lists charter, and
it doesnt take long reading regular posters' writings to
see that their personalities come shining through even
in on-topic posts! :-)

Respectfully,
John
