Killfiles are your friend.
I have over 50 names in mine for this newsgroup.
I loved my 93 Previa.
If your ancient WebTV box has filtering capability, then put it to use. Otherwise, just skip over the OT posts. There is no rule saying that you have to read them.
Not in practice, Steve.
However, considerate posters add an {OT} tag (curly brace, Oh, Tee, curly brace) to the subject line when they initiate an off-topic thread. This allows easy filtering by readers who object to the free-wheeling nature of this community.
I don't like a killfile for this group because some of the off-topic threads come from members whose knowledge of Toyota is very helpful when on-topic questions appear.
I often read the {OT} posts, although I try to restrain my urge to reply. I failed in respect of this one. :-)
Right on
These are the worst!!!!

Welcome to the Toyota NG. Hope you enjoy it and able to get some good useful information. Toyotas are a reliable motorcar and thus there are some here that get a bit bored and delve off to other subjects. You will have to tolerate them or use your filter.
Cheers
that krivits is especially a bad one. Watch out for the diz and truckdude too, they are bad indeed. Scott, badgolferman and cathy are all gentle persons and worthy of your consideration. It's just the others I mentioned that you should stay far away from and use your killfile on them. They are the worst.....!! Mike Hunter is ok too. Oh and killfile that moe person, he's a bit on the kook side to say the least.
Cheers
P.S. I'm a good guy so don't killfile me. It wouldn't do any good anyways.
Cheers again.
Ummm....
Too bad...
If you filter out me, you'll miss 25-30% {OT} posts, and 70-75% Toyota posts of one sort or another.
If you filter out OT. you'll miss ToyOTa posts.
We've ALL said the same thing. I've got the timer running as to when somoeone pushes your buttons, and you jump into an OT thread.
Now, if you filter out EXACTLY on the phrase {OT}, since most of us posting OT use this convention, you won't have very many articles to read here at all! ;)
Just skip over what you don't want to get involved in. We're a bunch of opinionated SOBs here, but it's a good place.
plonk
Look what you started now! More noise in this group that just OT stuff now.
How'd you get your G-mail account?
I'll be nice.
Lol.
Stripped a thread?
I have to say its been a lot better lately - i find the current level of OTness fairly acceptable and i was one of the original complainers lol. We all have the odd OT post to make or the occasional thing prods the right places.
Do you want one? I can send you an invitation.
If you had a real ISP instead of WebTV, you would be able to fix the problem on your own.
What the heck is a GMAil account?
What is required of me? An email address or what else? I don't trust google with my cell p number.
