I got the following piece of mail from LISTSERV. Looks like a bug to
me. Note the lines at the end of the headers on the second and third
copies. This is exactly as received, except I've shifted everything
right one column and inserted the *'s, on general safety principles.
I got something like this a day or two ago, but didn't pay much
attention to the repeated copies.

*Harold C. Pritchett <HAROLD@UGA> responds:
*>Here we go again. Do we really have to do this one more time. The
*>reason this list is primarily VM/CMS oriented is because that's the
*>submissions we get. No one ever asks an MVS question. I also
*>suspect it's because our subscribers are primarily VM oriented. If
*>you want more MVS, then participate more and get your MVS friends to
*>sign up also. No one has ever been flamed because they sent an MVS
*>question to this list.
*
*The reason that I, an MVS/XA systems programmer, stopped asking MVS-
*related questions on this list is that I've been flamed for it. Some
*have complained about ASM370 being cluttered up with postings that
*didn't deal with VM, while others apologized for hurting my eyes with
*all those VM postings. (Facts!? In an election year? ;-)
*
*For this reason, I now ask and respond to MVS-related questions on
*IBM-MAIN, which is a much better forum for OS-specific discussions
*(VM and otherwise): I suggest you do the same, Steve. I remain on
*ASM370 only out of idle curiosity. (Who knows, I may have to write a
*channel program to punch cards upside down someday.)
*
*>Now, lets get back to ASM and related topics, not why this list
*>doesn't seem to be one thing or another.
*
*I agree. The little ESA discussion going on now is very informative.
