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.


1) If you go into the bar at the marina, do you see a sign which prohibits
the discussion of non-boating topics?

2) When boating topics are posted here, have you noticed that the same
people who are at each other's throats sometimes usually manage to answer
boating questions completely, accurately and politely?

Jeez...suck it up. You want a static-free environment? Stock up on boating
books.
