Weeell... I used to be rather active on Fidonet, a network that kind of preceded the Internet, and there we often used to mark that kind of messages "OT:", Off Topic. So a message in the Funsport forum where I talk about my day at work would (in the best of worlds) have been marked "OT: My day at work"... It doesn't always work, though, but it's worth a try, perhaps. /John (29/0)
