[Year 12 IT Apps] OT: Rudd Money and Off Topic discussion

[Robert Hind]

I think that "hijacking of the list" goes a bit too far. Sure we are 
basically involved with ITA, but there are other "not directly related to 
the VCAA ITA course" topics that are of general IT relevance and surely we 
should all be interested in these. Of course there are some OT emails that 
go beyond this, but they are often either of general interest or cries for 
help ( and surely we should all be prepared to respond to those.).

If we keep the focus of this list too narrow then many of us will miss out 
on interesting issues simply because we have not become members of other 
lists that we simply don't know about.

So let us "tolerate" some OT messages and, as others have said, delete the 
messages we do not want to read. This is not exactly an onerous task.
