I've worked in this field for over 40 years and have met a few characters. The work seems to attract them. They are sometimes cantankerous.
Suggestion: If someone's post annoys you, don't read their contributions. I'll continue to follow the threads because even the abrasive people sometimes contribute something worth reading. -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List <[email protected]> On Behalf Of Kirk Wolf Sent: Wednesday, August 30, 2023 9:12 AM To: [email protected] Subject: With regrets, after many years I will no longer be following IBM-MAIN CAUTION: This email originated from outside of the Texas Comptroller's email system.

Dear ibm-mainers, It is with regrets that after many years I will no longer be actively following IBM-MAIN. 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.
