To be fair,
?off-topic? seems on-topic here with the list being
?General Discussion: On-Topic and Off-Topic Posts?.
From http://www.classiccmp.org/cctalk.html:
"The general discussion list is appropriate for discussion of the
following topics:
* classic computer hardware, software, and documentation. We define
"classic" as "at least ten years old, plus or minus cool
factor";
* computing in general ten or more years ago; and,
* fringe topics relevant to the pursuit of the hobby, such as
electronics, moving heavy equipment, and cleaning techniques.
...
Overly offensive or junk posts are not welcome. Please read the FAQ
<http://www.classiccmp.org/faq.html> before posting."
So talk to Mike Stein, the originator of this thread. The thread is
quoted in its entirety for your review. If attacked, I will defend
myself, and win, no matter the forum.

Oh, tons!
Actually I'm working 100-110hrs/wk now. I just type fast.
Speaking of time to waste, was there a point to this exercise?
A more useful
statistic might be "on topic posts." You managed to
write a whopping 15 posts (out of 100) between 6/1 and 6/15 that
could be considered "on topic" for this list (and I'm being generous.)
Is the point becoming more clear now, or shall I be more blunt?
