Mike, oh ye of little faith! :-)

I always wondered about that. Mustard seeds, mountains and all that. Sorta
makes it sound like little faith is a pretty good thing. Oh wait a second -
that would be usenet reasoning...
 
 OT is for threads that start on topic
and drift off.  I don't think this is in that category so it should be
taken it to a political or financial ng.

I dont quite agree with you there...www.netlingo.com defines OT as
"Off Topic An acronym or text message used in online chat, IM, e-mail,
blogs, or newsgroup postings." It says nothing about a topic that
started on topic and then drifted off.

The regulars of a newsgroup form a type of a bond. I have seen bunches
of OT topics from newsgroup regulars that are communicating with
their on-line friends of whatever newsgroup they frequent. I have
never seen an "OT" used for a post that started on topic and drifted
off.

You are then relatively new to usenet as many threads are marked OT by
someone as soon as they drift off-topic.
