I have noticed several postings from people I don't >recognize lately. <snip> 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.
