Is this all clear for you now? That **OFF LIST** was a simple mistake of forgetting to edit the subject line before getting the discussion back on the list?
Interestingly enough, the 'OFF LIST" declaration has now populated itself, which was what I meant in my original post. Personally, I feel that subject line declarations like "OT", etc are just a wasted finger exercise. It ranks up there with those totally useless and legally unenforceable 'disclaimer' declarations. (see example below)
By the way, this was in no way directed at you, or anyone else in particular. I was just curious as to why someone (anyone) would employ this tactic.
In any case, it is time to retire this post.

Obviously, I am the idiot who sent it to you by mistake. Furthermore, there is no way I can force you to delete it. Worse, by the time you have reached this disclaimer you have all ready read the document. Telling you to forget it would seem absurd. In any event, I have no legal right to force you to take any action upon this email anyway.
This entire disclaimer is just a waste of everyone's time and bandwidth. Therefore, let us just forget the whole thing and enjoy a cold beer instead.
