Steve f All valid points and I for one get carried away, and giddy. Especially when in between med doses.
Some of these OT's are important to build comraderie (sp), trust and to just simply be civil. While rarely is my OT pertinent in the purist sense... Realize that weddings, okay bachelor parties, dinners, Al Rosen, modern memorabilia, ebay scams, Meet's, funny photos, seinfeld, even current MLB/sports topics can conjur up a prewar notion.
I believe that some OT's can show the human side to this braintrust and possibly coax a reluctant lurker to jump in. Some members think of the VBC as a library, I do too, but it's okay to step into the Children's Wing from time to time(and my local library has videos now too).
Leon, You do a good job here -establishing the ying/yang. But I'm certain it gets weary. You may want to consider this option... I'm thinking, if a member has issue with anothers' post, suggest he shoot the OT poster a tactful note, most folks are accomodating and wish to be liked.
Email welcomed and jokes okay but please, no girly pics.
