what are OT posts?

=============================

OT in this group means "On Topic". This may seem a bit convoluted but
rec.boats long ago stopped being a boating news group. Therefore any
posting which does NOT deal with boats is, by definition, "On Topic".

This is basically done as a convenience for folks who have no interest
in boating related posts and want to skip over them.
