Ok, what's the meaning of OT in the subject line.
It has shone up in more than one subject from more than one person. I have tried to figure it out, but I'm lost?? Will someone enlighten me? |

It is prefixed to a post's Subject line to alert readers that the subject of the post is not related to the purpose of the newsgroup. For instance, if I wanted to tell everyone that my just wife had a baby in the rec.ponds newsgroup, I should make the subject "OT: My wife had a baby" because my wife's fecundity is unrelated to ponds.

Off Topic -- which in and of itself is remarkable for this group.... there *is* life outside of ponding, yes, I heard its true! (Actually I started the OT Harry Potter thread... but Hogwarts does have a pond, a lake actually, with mermaids and mermen and a giant squid!) k30a |

Here's another explanation ~~~
PORG - A term used on rec.ponds from time to time. If you are a Star Trek fan, the Next Generation specifically, you might remember the evil Borg. Half living creatures, half robots, flying around the universe assimilating new species into their collective. Their favorite line, delivered in cold robotic voices, is 'resistance is futile, you will be assimilated". We rec.ponders feel the same way about ponding. Watch out you are about to be assimilated into the Porg collective! We will be here to help with the details. Remember resistance is futile.... k30a |
