[ale] Request to Reduce Off Topic Posts

[scott boss]

2 things before I shut up about this.

1. I was just trying to help since lately the amount of OT
threads/msgs has really done up.
2. Ever since the "cool it" from the Grand Poobah came out earlier
there hasn't been less OT volume.

So use the alternate list or don't.  Yalls choice.  If the OT msgs
don't calm down quickly I will probably delist myself since I don't
need my iphone blowing up all day long with things about politics/oil
spill/evil governments/etc

Have a wonderful evening
