Questions about instructions belong here. However, questions about the HLASM syntax for an instruction belong both here and ASSEMBLER-LIST, as the poster chooses.
I don't recall arguing against any proposed listserv, and MVS-OE is one that I consider important. About the only thing that I would argue against is people posting questions to bit.listserv.* news groups that are not gated to the corresponding listservs. Not that it isn't legitimate, but they will get fewer responses. -- Shmuel (Seymour J.)
