Yes. Normal everyday courtesy says we should mark non-pentax
posts as OT, so the folks who don't want to read them doesn't
have to read it to find out it is off topic. I often fail to do
so myself. I will try harder from now on to remember to do so.
One thing is, if the original poster doesn't do so, even if
someone changes it, the thread will usually go on with many
comments not being marked OT.
Of course, "I" have a tendency to inject nonsense into normally
on topic threads. Admit it, you thought I was going to
apologize for that didn't you? <grin>
