One of the things we can all do is set a good example and not start OT
discussions in the first place. Once they are started they take on a
life of their own and keep people hanging around that really should be
elsewhere.



I don't disagree philosophically with what you are saying here, although
I am not offput by OT topics marked OT. But I think the "people who
should be elsewhere" aren't going anywhere so long as being snarly to
others is part of their reason for living.

Why should anyone be elsewhere if they want to be here?
