      Offtopic? No, no.. like "I, Cringley". Get it?

      Man, if only the "preview" feature featured a cool-o-meter or confuse-o-meter to warn me before I posted. Then the post would never have existed, and it wouldn't have possibly been off-topic.

      If only I were posting the message via a hacked MediaMVP box. Then I'd be on-topic.

      If only the "subject" text field were labeled "topic", and my cursor was placed over that field. Then I'd be on-topic.

      But I digress... :-)

    this is just like the saying goes:

    only on /. can the very first post be modded redundant.
