No.  Who died and put you in charge?

And... might I add that those who have engaged in OT threads have 
generally had the decency to label the threads "OT" - something I note 
that whomever started this latest meta-thread did NOT have the courtesy 
to do.

It's bad enough to have my mailbox clogged with OT threads - though some 
are interesting and I have been guilty of contributing on occasion, but 
the last 2 days, all I'm seeing are debates about whether or not to 
allow OT threads.

Enough already, or does somebody have to mention Nazis?
