Re: Does this list need to ban OT posts???

This is something that seems to come around every 6-12 months.

Now Mark has mentioned it, it will die down. Only to resurface in
6-12 months time.

I personally don't see the issue. Leave it as it is.

The list could be so much worse, it is not like we have off topic
jokes etc all the time.

Just my 'automated' 2p worth
