If it is labeled OT as these messages were, I think one should
know what he/she may be getting into (something of no interest to them).
Following the OT, there has been what the OT subject is such as
OT:Amaryllis. If one abhors amaryllis, then one should hit the delete key
immediately and be done with it. If you know it might be a can of worms,
don't open it!
I agree with Mark Cook that Tom Little has the final say since he
is the owner of the list.
