Steve,
I agree with your point on Stack Exchange voting and that a mainframe
section would be useful. But I disagree that IBM-MAIN would work great
there ;-) This list absolutely thrives on detritus such as never ending
threads on the glory days of paper tape. Even threads on the most useful
topics can only survive here a few days without being steered into a ditch
where its only interesting to the quarter-century club.
The good thing about Stack Exchange is that moderators can jump in an
close a thread when it starts to drift and delete answers/comments that
are inappropriate.
Finally, Stack
Exchange has a completely different idea of what "reputation" means :-)

could really help separate the good answers from the bad and the ugly.
Assuming there's sufficient intelligence and interest to skew it the right
way -- I guess we'll see how that works out.
