I think you can safely assume that Hawkwind won't use an "OFF" keyword
for an announcement.

We've been pretty good about using the OFF tag and your software should
be able to ensure you miss messages marked thus.

like this without descending into the kind of slaggin matches I've seen
on the subject elsewhere. Gentlemen: it's a pleasure to disagree with you!
