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. For folks who have slow communications speeds, this will tell tham that they can avoid downloading the message (and the related thread of post related to it) and not miss anything.

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 |

It's one of those things that can be so puzzling, but so obvious once explained. Bill "BB" wrote in message ... Ok, what's the meaning of OT in the subject line.

Well, I read "DH" as Dutiful Husband, but I'm at a loss about PORG (or
PORGer?): The best one I could come up with (at least in a family-oriented medium, as they say) is Pond Owners' Recreation Group, but that seems so tame.
