RE: Off Topic Items

["David Murphy" <murphy_d@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

That certainly can be a nuisance but I'd personally much rather have repetition 
that's on topic than off-topic stuff. Besides as long as new people keep 
joining the ranks, repetition is bound to occur. My email program allows me  to 
group messages by subject and delete them with one stroke. :)

buying, taxes, kids.......

Agreed. But how many times (and under how many subjects) does this list's
subscribers need to be reminded that the AS/400 doesn't crash, offers low
TOC, needs low-cost operators, etc, etc?

Shouldn't we stick (at least mostly) to technical Q&A here?
