[at-l] Re: A suggestion that Ryan create the OT-L

[thornel at attglobal.net (W F Thorneloe)]

No, OT is used by the non-Liberals, Non-Conservatives, Non-Nazi's, 
Non-Commie's and Non-Haters of All Things Environmental to let the rest of 
us know what Liberals, Conservatives, Nazis, Commies and Haters of All 
Things Environmnetal that we are. The broad use of OT has become a majority 
of the verbiage of our list this past month. Those who attempt to follow 
the list via digest have little choice but to delete the entire digest.

As another suggested, my little suggestion was to create the On Topic List 
(OT-L) and allow those who monopolize the AT-L (Any Thing List) to continue 
to batter it to death. I also hoped to suggest money raising opportunities 
to Ryan, who might serve as a Dungeon Master for those requiring discipline 
on AT-L.

I sometimes find myself fantasizing performing waxings with duct tape on a 
number of writers on the GW thread.
