It goes in cycles.   It mostly depends on how many off topic posts
or how off topic a thread drifts.  It's unfortunate that the more
off topic posts there are or threads drift, the more traffic there is.

If you look at the light days, most if not all the posts really have
to do with specific "IBM-MAIN" issues (mainframe / z/OS) and not PCs, 
or trips down memory lane to discuss what hardware and software
ran 30 years ago or how long people have been working in this
business.  

It's also unfortunate that this query is just another example that
will add to the problem.

Cheers,

Mark
