I had no clue that this could spark off this kind of debate. I knew what I am posting is wrong as this mailing list is meant to discuss only JSP related issue and anything else is offline .
I have subscribed to this mailing list from last 2-3 months and some how I see it as some sort of cummunity . I request everyone to please put end to this topic. Every time I see "Re: Looking for java Position " in subject line I feel bad. It makes me feel guilty , I say to myself I have sparked off this .
