RE: A89: Off Topic Stuff
nah but the truth is nothing has happened lately and nothing is happening
now. most programmers I know are burned out on the 89 and are going to other
calculators just for the experience. Who cares what the so called topic is,
this is an information source for discussion and I think we're keeping it
pretty useful. I see questions every few days still but from what I see they
never get unanswered despite all of us conversing. It's not like spamming or
anything.

This is referred to signal to noise ratio. Right now we have about 5%
signal (good info/on topic, etc) to 95% noise(off-topic/useless posting,
etc)
So our signal to noise ratio is 0.05. When it gets over one (which it
does, occasionally), then many rejoice...
