About a week ago I asked FML subscribers how you felt about including
some basically off-topic posts on the FML.  For example, should an FML
subscriber feel free to post about needing a home for a feline friend.
 
The response was not tremendous but was overwhelmingly positive.  With
certain provisions, all of those responding felt it was appropriate.
 
Basically, off-topic posts will be:
 
- Clearly marked as being off-topic by including [OT] or [off-topic] in
  the subject line.
 
- Put near the end of the FML.
 
- Accepted from subscribers ONLY
 
- Accepted on a space-available basis.  If off-topic posts arrive on a day
  when the FML is unusually busy I will hold them for a lighter time.  If
  too many off-topic posts are posted we can revisit the issue.
 
I hope that's acceptable for the majority of subscribers.  As usual, thank
you for your feedback.
