Sorry, but no. If you know that your posting is off topic, you shouldn't be posting it, period. Reply in private or some such. The S to N ratio in these parts is dropping rapidly, and its largely the fault of people who think "just one more off topic post can't hurt". One person doing it causes little damage, but unfortunately dozens upon dozens feel the urge every day. I usually just reply to such posts in private and note that they are off topic, but since you insisted on bringing it up in public... Perry
