Here we go again.... What is it with you guys? Can you not remember this is IBM-MAIN? This list is for the discussion of IBM Mainframes....not McDonalds hamburgers or Star Trek or the English language. These useless discussions fill the archives with garbage and take away from the usefulness of the list. It seems like some of you just HAVE to get the last word in. I just don't get it. I'm on other lists that consists mostly of non-professionals and they are extremely well behaved and abide by the rules for that list. I can't say the same for IBM-MAIN. Here is my dilemma. Starting Tuesday the 26th of July, I will be unreachable until August 7th away on vacation. I honestly do not trust you guys to behave while I'm gone. There's not much I can really do though. You guys are going to have to police yourselves. When I get back though, I'm going to start actively monitoring the list and keeping track of who starts the off topic threads. I don't have the time to approve individual posts, so the only alternative is to permanently remove people from the list. I've really had enough. You've been warned.
If it doesn't have to do specifically with IBM mainframes, don't send it to the list. And I'm not going to buy into the argument, "Well, I've eaten a McD hamburger while working on a mainframe." As usual, do NOT reply to this message. Do NOT change the subject to reply to this message. If you have complaints/comments, you can send them directly to me, not the list. I get tons of email per day, so I may not reply to you.
