| Jul 3, 2021 at 13:58 | comment | added | carmik | OP asked a question; no discussion. And my reference to COBOL tried to serve as an example of attitude with regard to closing a thread because it partly references old/unsupported/ancient technology . The reference to Usenet was made to recall times when someone asks and whoever has something to contribute and wants to help, is free to do so. These points should be clear, yet I'd like to clarify them. In doing so, we both might have started a discussion. So, let's better try to address the heart of the OP... | |

Almost certainly - that is off topic for Server Fault it may fly on Stack Overflow though. This place isn't Usenet or a mailing list or a forum. There are no threads/thread handling/discussions - just Questions and Answers. | |
