It will blow over and get back to normal in a few hours, or a day or so at most. It always does. I've been through this a few times already, and the pattern is very predictable.

I did like the list of bestsellers that Chela put up, though.As is true with a lot of lists, a topic gets started that is on-topic. Scanning and versions of Windows was. Then, the topic of Windows versions with no reference to scanning took on a life of its own.Then, cleaning keyboards was the one, though the subject line was sometimesdifferent.One thing that I think happens is that even after everything has been said that needs to be, people still keep on discussing that topic.I am not a moderator. Nor do I frown on a few off-topic messages, but this list has been swamped with them lately. I think that if 3/4 of the messages were on topic, that would be an excellent ratio.
