        Actually, he was very valid in his request.  He did not ask that 
        you completely stop but rather add the OFF-TOPIC into the subject
        so it can be ruled out.  It has been a rather long discussion with
        lots of e-mails (not that I am complaining, just seeing his point).

in that
        you have delete button etc.

                Can't the list members PUH-LEEZE stick (mostly) to messages
germane
        to the
                purpose of this list?  I don't mind the occasional off-topic
post,
        but, for
                crying out loud, how about a little restraint?  The original
recipe
                posting(s) have given rise to a plethora of  messages about
        chocolate,
                sugar, ants, travel, etc. etc.

                I open list messages as they arrive and I don't appreciate
the
        cumulative
                waste of my time in reading all of this nonsense.  

                If you all MUST ventilate at length about eating
chocolate-covered
        ants,
                let's adopt a convention of including "OFF-TOPIC" in the
message
        header, at
                least, so it's possible to filter them out.

                And no, I am not a grouch, curmudgeon, in need of lightening
up,
        etc.
                Sometimes enough is enough, already.
