As someone who is frequently the initiator/encourager of OT conversation...I
just wanna say thanks to Victor. I agree 100%.
Oh...and the shirt is awesome...:-)

Subject: [NTLK] About off-topic stuff
Hey all. I had a long day - was filming presentations at work all day,
standing for around 8 hours at the back of an auditorium. Didn't read my
mail all day, and so now I'm home and catching up on 133 NTLK messages :)
Oh - and icing my calves :)
Anyways, I'm only through about a quarter of it, and I'm already noticing
that the OT thread going around is getting a little bit personal. It's
not like we haven't been to heck and back before during OT conversations,
so n ormally I wouldn't say anything. But on Friday I'm taking a three
week vacation and leaving things int eh capable hands of Paul and Grant.
I'd rather that they not have any problems while I'm gone. So, just
remember:
-If you think it's a troll, don't feed it. They only get bigger and
hairier.
-No one deserves to be attacked personally. Better to defeat people with
solid reasoning than insults.
-If you don't like what you read, remember you don't have to read it.
-Have fun.
