Well, we've trained people to include "OT:" more-or-less when appropriate (there are probably a few stragglers, myself included, who occaisionally slip)  Now if we can get folks to sub-categorize in what way they are "off" topic, I can set the list to avoid OT:POL(itical) and OT:REL(igion) yet keep OT:TECH(nical-non-3000) :)  [and set a rule in my client for OT:HUM(o[u]r) to auto-forward to my dad ;) ]

Now, which tag did I need for list administrivia and/or suggestions?
