It has been nearly worthless for years. 20-30 posters account for 95% of the traffic. It’s a good old boys club. A cultish frat club.

The list has become intolerable because of trolling, off-topic thread hijacking, and personal attacks. The signal-to-noise ratio is approaching "1". My assessment is that without some form of community governance and real moderation, IBM-MAIN will soon be completely useless except for the archives. I want to sincerely thank all of the extremely knowledgeable and kind contributors from whom I have learned so much. You are more than welcome to contact me directly for questions in my area of expertise.
