Default OT - please remember.....

Hi everyone - Lately a *lot* of people have been forgetting the OT and AD
tags in the subject of messages. AD is for promoting your stuff for sale or
your website (unless in the sig line), and OT means Off Topic - anything
posted that is not related to beads.

Please remember that many people use filters with those terms. Most
newsgroups don't allow off topic or ad posting at all, so I would like to
request that we all remember to use these tags. Thanks.

Thank you for the reminder, Kandice. I *know* I'm guilty of not
adding in the OT when I reply. I promise to do better.

And, as Celine says, put in the OT by itself -- no colon after it. It'll get
removed if it's accompanied by a colon.

Just type OT and a space or two, then your subject line.
