True, but as you say, the topics are at least centered around IBM (or IBM compatable) mainframes. The original posters comments about "replacers", ads, economists, politicians, etc. seemed to have little to do with IBM mainframes. Now, I am perhaps even more guilty than most for starting or contributing to off-topic threads, but this one seriously rubbed me the wrong way. It felt very much like spam. (Particularly since it was posted more than once.) And here I am contributing to an off-topic thread again. :-( I'll shut up.
