Robert You could always do what I do and what I have just advised someone else to do which is switch off the e-mails and just take a look at the archives, say, every week.
You're still 20% MVS so you may still need help with a problem from time to time. If so, you can still operate quite happily through the archives. When you've got one of your own concerns in circulation, obviously you look as often as you can. I handle IBMTCP-L though Gmail which, in effect, since it's all I use Gmail for, constitutes an archive-like environment - and it has the great benefit, for a 2 thumbs typist such as I am, of a spell-checker. I normally don't bother looking into "farewell" posts but these are fractious times. Incidentally - I may as well add it here since Thomas Chicklon has probably adopted that vastly less efficient technique for following the list in "light" mode and so not "see" any posts I create - whatever you or anyone may think of the contents of my posts - and I've just "done" a couple of heavily technical ones on CICS-L and IBMTCP-L - I don't think there could be any comments concerning my ability to pollinate where necessary, propagate or populate any thread on IBM-MAIN all simply by use of the archive pages with nary an e-mail in sight - except aborted ones for the purposes of spell- checking!
