For the first time, ever, I completely agree with Aaron.  Why would an 
OT post bother anybody?  just don't read it.  How silly.  If you don't 
like Windows, don't read it.  I skip most all posts and only read the 
ones that interest me.  Not that I think Jim is doing/has done a bad 
job, he has not/is not.  It is just the rash of hot heads who get ill by 
reading a topic that contains something other than Linux and feel that 
they have been defrauded in some way.  Silly. It is totally 
inappropriate to belittle  a poster because he posted something YOU 
don't like to read.  Stop reading it.  The list will die.  things 
change, the need has decreased for such a list and becomes even more 
corner case be outlawing OT posts.  I find tech interesting, anything 
Windows less so, new tech more so, and so I keep this list so that I can 
read about new things and (hopefully) synergize  them together into a 
greater whole.  Just my 2c worth.
