Just curious Bob, but how do you justify the "O" in "AO"? Wouldn't "C" be a more obvious and less confusing choice? Or should "AC" be reserved for conversations about refrigeration issues?*

Or maybe all that standing about on your head so that gravity goes the right way* is finally getting to you?

*This posting guaranteed to consist of 100% UC**.

Then there's always "GAC" = Grazie Approved Content.

**Useless Content, of course. Or should that be UO?

How do we know what the topic really is, to determine if it's off said topic? Is Vegas the topic, or specifiically Vegas video, because that's the title of the forum? What about a camera that might be sought with the idea of pluggin it into vegas for video.. That could be deemed OT even though it mentions vegas and video in the same sentence?.

And are we beginning to OD on the OT RC AC(AO to australians apparently) which the OP stated not wanting all this BS which may PO the OP, leading to more UC which will not be GAC due to not remotely attaining GSA* (TM)


*Grazie Seal of Approval

Sorry, I think I dozed off in the middle of that last sentence :-)

Why do you think it took 4hours to write? :)

Why is this forum getting so hard to post in these days.. Keeps timing out during replies..

Look, if you're gonna talk about forum server response time, make it a separate thread and put an "OT" in front of it, okay? I mean, really...

Mine never does that - you sure it isn't your ISP?

OT topics are often interesting and generally don't demand a technical answer, so everyone can join in. Is the south pole up or down? People gathered around the north pole have been been confused about this because they forgot that telescopes invert things? This is why we in Australia look down on Poms, and the reason Sydney-siders look up to Melbourne. AO comes from film classifications, meaning "adult only" -- not much to do with content. Rather like this post is content-free!

Ah, interesting. I had never heard "AO" before. Up in these parts we have M (for mature), A (for adult), and X (for X-rated).

I had a physics professor who offered these meanings for movie ratings ...
G - Good
PG - Pretty Good
R - Really Good
X - Excellent!
