i couldn't agree more. I myself have contributed OT-messages, but I did 
it as a courtesy to those I thought would want to avoid them. I replied 
to an OT remark in a message not marked OT, so eliminating messages 
marked OT will not eliminate the provocative snide remark in an 
otherwise appropriate message. I have never perceived malice toward the 
group in any OT thread or remark.

Right again. I have enjoyed this list and I joined it after tiring of 
another where daily bullying and invective poisoned an otherwise helpful 
and knowledgeable group. This helpful and knowledgeable group has had 
friendly banter, properly marked OT, and I will be sorry to see it go in 
the face of a demand for more rigor. The worst offense in this list was 
an elderly incompetent, whose bad advice was immediately corrected, 
sometimes with understandable impatience. As a beginner, I learned from 
his mistakes.
