I'll take that as a compliment? <grin> Yeah, o-t.fun seems like a "natural" place for silliness and fun... it's just not really obvious that off-topic.fun is for <emphasis> OFF-TOPIC <\emphasis> fun.

These groups summarize pretty much everything that is discussed in lugnet.general, and IMHO are neccessary, or for the very least good ideas to decrease the volume of posts in .general.
