Hi Micheal...I've set a filter on my email that routes all the OT
Subjects from this site to a separate folder.  I'm sure many others do
the same.

You're new here aren't you Micheal. :-)

You do realize that its two months before a national election.

This is the 3000-L, most of us have over 25 years experience working on
a computer that rarely fails, we reboot only when necessary every couple
years.  The Maytag repairman is overworked compared to being an HP3000
System Admin/programmer.

We have several discussions that never end...

Politics,
Evolution,

Come to mind.

Most off-topic posts are/should be prefaced with "OT:", and I believe
you can opt out of off-topic posts.

Sadly after the election the off-topic posts my slow down, but I can bet
they won't stop.
