No! In my opinion the "Subject" you use to post your message (or reply) should be correct for what you are saying. If you have frayed the thread by taking it in a different direction from the original, you should amend the tag and/or the rest of the subject to reflect what you're saying. I don't do this as much as I should, but I have this time! :-) The [OT:] tag means that the message is not PIC or EE (or whatever) related - it doesn't mean it's off the topic of the original post. It may well be, but it might just be another PIC-related topic, for example. Cheers, Howard Winter St.Albans, England -- http://www.piclist.com hint: The PICList is archived three different ways.
