I agree that OT is a good thing within reason. I have learned most of what I 
know about Sendmail from this list. (That is  - two of the three things I 
know about Sendmail). A gracious reply to my OT question as opposed to a 
"get it out of this list" or "look it up yourself" does wonders for the 
respect a list  and its members gain from me. 'Course I always try to Google 
first.
