Hi Bob

Yes, this one without the OT in the Subject line got thru.

Martin,
I will do two repllies to see if it works.  One will be labled Endless c*ap.  The other will have the OT in the subject. This is the one without OT.  If you don't see the other one in 5 min then it probably works.

Thanks, Bob. I've created a filter and will see what happens.

Martin,

The best way to get rid of the OT stuff is to do the following:
1. On top left of the web page is an Options label with a down arrow next to it, click "Options";
2. It will give you a pull down screen, one of the choices is mail options, click "mail options";
3. It will now give you a new Sub-folder with OPTIONS as a choice, on the OPTIONS sub-folder on the left side will be a list of choices, click "filter";
4. In the middle column that comes up, there is an ADD button, click the "ADD" button;
5. This will open a third column, at the top is asks for Filter Name, enter "OT STUFF";
6. Further down is a part that has "Subject Contains" with a box after "Contains", in the box enter "OT";
7. Further on down is a sentence that says "Then deliver the email to the following folder", below is a drop down box that allows you to send the OT STUFF to where ever you would like. Pick the destination of your choice;
8. Now go back to the second column where the "ADD" button is from step 4 and click "ADD" button;
9. You have now filtered out the OT messages that are driving you craaaazzzyyyyy!!!!!!!

Hope this helps,
Bob

ps When I first joined this group, I also wondered about all the OT stuff, it is apparently in the 7x10 group charter to stimulate different topics and if I didn't like it to go to 7X12 group where they keep a tight control over what is posted instead of a more free group like the 7x10. I decided to jump in and just enjoy the topics as it is like having to deal with actual people in a real machine shop, thereby enhancing the real machining experience. However, if you don't like it, but you still want the base knowledge just use the above steps to keep you out of the fray. If you ask people to just put OT in the Subject line so you don't have to look at it, they are usually polite enough to comply. Most of all, Enjoy your hobby, that is what I try to do.

Hi Listmates

Is there any way of stopping all this OT stuff??? I am sick to death of deleting unwanted OT drivel when all I want to read is 7x10 chat.

I reject any assertions claiming that I lack tolerance. This group is simply for 7x10 and related machines and that's it. At least, I hope it is.

Best regards
