Ken,
PMFJI, but there's also a [NF] convention that the Profox community has
been trying to use. The [NF] prefix stands for "Not Fox" and you can use
it in your subject lines like [OT].
Perhaps that might help your list filtering? (I'm guessing here, I don't
know). I agree with you that we (the Profox community) can probably
tighten up how we label our posts.

Subject: Re: Fox technical chat on ProFox
Hi Bill. I understand what you are saying but it has nothing to do with
what I was talking about. I am referring to the fact that if someone
(not just me) wants to read topic related material on ProFox and not
read off topic material, then the [OT] feature should be used and
encouraged properly. Nothing I said related to not being able to talk
or post freely. Nothing I said related to not allowing people post a
message on any topic they want. What I was talking about is having a
filter for Fox related content since it is a ProFox alias.
I don't subscribe (email) to any part of ProFox, I only read the online
archives, which works well. But for online archives as well as the
email subscription, if someone selects no OT, they should only get on
topic messages. The only reason I brought it up is because it appears
well over half the non-OT messages are actually OT. If you and a few
others on ProFox want encourage folks not to properly use the OT feature
in order to force people to read non-VFP messages, then we disagree on
principle.

Hi Ken,
You should enroll in the full (OT included) version of ProFox! It's
great to have a community with a strong common bond that also shares
other interests. People are more 'alive' when they can talk freely. As a
community, I think ProFox is as robust now as it's ever been. Some
people have left (I think more at Microsoft's hand than OT's), but
others have joined, and it's my observation that the average ProFoxer is
educated, thoughtful and willing to give more than they take. Seems to
me that Microsoft could learn something here.
