OT means Off Topic, which means the conversation is about something not related to Ubuntu support.

It's a way of saying "I know what I'm posting doesn't really fit within the charter of this list, but I'm still posting it, because - probably - I think it still interests most people here."... Of course some times it just means "I don't care that it's not the topic for this list, I just wanted to say it. Here." :) Gilles. -- ubuntu-users mailing list ubuntu-users@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-users |
