I guess it means that we are humans and not machines dedicated directly
to the Fedora OS via USB rectal probes, who ponder and debate many OT
things. It's happened before, it'll happen again. 

I personally think most OT subjects as a result of our collective need
to remain human and converse, even if it's in disagreement. No one is
getting paid here, so a little bit of payment in OT, by the list, is not
out of the question. This list would get bare, REAL quick, if it weren't
for some bit of OT discussion. Even a trained seal will not bark when
there are no fish. :) My 2 cents, Ric
