[CT] Actually OT

[Daniel Moran]

Isn't OT actually shorthand for "Off-Topic?" I mean it as "On-Topic," of 
course.


   "When I use a word," Humpty Dumpty said, in a rather scornful tone, "it 
means just what I choose it to mean—neither more nor less."
   "The question is," said Alice, "whether you can make words mean so many 
different things."
   "The question is," said Humpty Dumpty, "which is to be master—that's all."
