    I seem to be OT as well. Hopefully that doesn't mean "off topic."

    Another random guess would be that it stands for "Open Threads" and it is a list of all the initiators of presently open threads? Clueless.

    It stands for "On time" but we didn't put the "and over budget" part in because we were over budge and needed to get it out on time.
