Activity within 7 days:

Description

This mailing list is for all the Off Topic messages from all of the other Windows-centric technical mailing lists I belong to, i.e. ATL, DCOM, DOTNET and GENX. These messages are typically marked [OT], [OOT], [VERY OT], or whatever. Sometimes this seems like most of the content on these lists, and often the most interesting, but since it's "off topic", folks are often flamed for their posts. Since I found this unfair, I thought I'd start a list for just these kinds of posts.

To reduce spam, each new member of this list will initially be moderated. Please be patient with your first few posts 'til we've established that you're not a spammer.

Enjoy!
