Off List

[Art Campbell]

I welcome most of the side-threads, although people could push labeling them
with an OT in the subject line a bit more.

So I'd also vote for no changes required, at the moment.

I'm among the group of people who have figured out how the Delete key works,
as well as making use of Gmail's "Mute" command -- a wonderful thing.
