I started one of the OT threads, but I have been trying to keep it civil,
even in the face of considerably less civil comments directed toward me and
my son. I hope I am not part of the overall problem for you.

I said this before, to another person who said much the same thing: If you
want to sway people away from OT posting, write generously about the soaps.
Have you ever noticed that now and then I'll make maybe three or four OLTL
threads at one time? This is what I do when I'm tired of all the OT stuff
and want to get back to the shows. The more unique OLTL threads, the more
likely it is someone will write in them. Now, it's hard for me to do this
right now because I am a couple of shows behind, but you are certainly
welcome to start a few threads. (You know that ANYTHING you write about
Antonio will be cheerfully answered by me!) I like talking about OLTL, but
it's sometimes hard for me to START threads simply because I am so far
behind in my watching. But yeah, start some new threads and I will
certainly respond to them. Make them extra-interesting and maybe we can
generate as long of a discussion as the OT threads.
