The Logic Off Topic list

Like you said, perhaps the OT list becomes a more interesting list, but on
OT themes. And that´s what it is for.
I don´t talk about the start of an OT theme, it always (hm, nearly always)
starts out of a logic related thing. This is great, and it is what this list
is (as a side-effect) meant to be. I totally agree with you.
But when the OT gets bigger and bigger, I think there should be a point,
when the thread goes over to the OT list. Sadly enough, I got no clue, how
to do it, except forcing people to put the thread to the OT list. But that´s
easily said, I think Joeri got enough stuff to do. Better would be when
people themselfs put the thread over, when they see that they have raised a
OT. Perhaps I add this to my new year´s wishes.

But if you (personally) think we can handle it with page-down, deleting or
in the worst case building filters for the OT related stuff, fine. I,
personally, like the two list model more. I got folders for every list, and
so everything stays in the place where it belongs to. Easy to manage. And
when I check the new mails, I know what waits for me, in a second. I really
enjoy reading the OTs, but I enjoy it more, when I got them in my L-OT
folder. It would save a lot of time for everybody.
Like I said in my first mail, just my opinion. If you think its worthless,
remember page-down.

And just to make it clear, my comment wasn´t meant offensive to anyone on
the list or to the list itself. I know how valuable people like Sascha are,
but what´s wrong with it when a quieter guy sends in a comment? Am I allowed
to? Or do I have to answer a minimum of 200 questions, to throw in my
opinion?

So I cc: this to the OT list and we can discuss this over there (or
privatly), if you like to.

Achim
