<< Well no, strictly speaking the language in John's post wasn't neutral, as
Hagridd says.  It was also, strictly speaking, off-topic (as is this message
I am writing).  Age of consent *was* recently discussed on OT-Chatter, and I
suspect the moderators would prefer any further discussion of the topic to
move there >>

Yes, please.  What started out as an OT comment on the age of
majority/consent in the UK, following (I think), a discussion of Hermione's
age, has ended up as "the completely OT thread that wouldn't go away".  It
should have been shooed to OT a few miles back...

We ask people not to post OT to this list, but there will be a point in some
threads where someone has to make a decision to move to OT Chatter.  Rather
than jump in with a big flashing ADMIN every time, we rely on the common
sense of posters to say something along the lines of  "I'm getting OT now,
so please respond to me on OT Chatter".

If you're responding directly to someone's point with something OT (such as
this explanation of the age of consent), please send them an e-mail as a
courtesy, to let them know you'll reply on OT Chatter, or send them a
private message if it isn't of general interest.

Thanks

Neil (who has put away the sheepdog suit and doubts it will still fit him)
