Hi Duane,

So... let's be clear here.... is it now the list managers decision that 
off-topic posts are OK for all?  Given that it's not unheard of on your 
lists for members to be publicly chastised for list violations, I think 
it's important to get an official read on this.....a good opportunity to 
clarify the rules for all.  Obviously nobody cares that much about an 
occasional off topic post, but I think there's an issue of consistency here.

Are off topic posts OK for all Heathkit members?

A simple "yes" or "no" answer would be appreciated.

Happy Thanksgiving!

John
