As you can see Ted, some Subject Lines are easy to determine as being political or a joke or in the case of Kerry, both! However as a courtousy here on TheChipBoard we've been using "NCR" to mark posts that aren't Chip Related as Phyllis has indicated. There were complaints in the past about clicking on non-specific headers only to find tales of lost automobiles, new grandchildren/wives/tents, or other distractions from the serious business we chippers are about!

Luckily, chippers seem to be a pretty homogeneous bunch and almost all posts make a positive contribution to the community that patronizes the board. Chip related or not!
