Jeez Paul, look at the header "Lemon Juice in Ants Pooh-Poohed", I deleted it without reading it?

Can't the list members PUH-LEEZE stick (mostly) to messages germane to the purpose of this list? I don't mind the occasional off-topic post, but, for crying out loud, how about a little restraint? The original recipe posting(s) have given rise to a plethora of messages about chocolate, sugar, ants, travel, etc. etc.

I open list messages as they arrive and I don't appreciate the cumulative waste of my time in reading all of this nonsense.

If you all MUST ventilate at length about eating chocolate-covered ants, let's adopt a convention of including "OFF-TOPIC" in the message header, at least, so it's possible to filter them out.

And no, I am not a grouch, curmudgeon, in need of lightening up, etc. Sometimes enough is enough, already.
