Just wanted to say that the forum/email list integration has been extremely helpful for me at least. I never, ever read the forums, and now I do because I am pushed questions, rather than polling. We did the email integration because it made it easier on us to answer questions and call attention to questions each of us knows how to answer.

What you can do, is unsubscribe to this general list and subscribe to only the forums you want to receive email from.

P.S. Dustin, as long as you are fair in your venting, vent as much as you want! We do work hard to give you a free product and sometimes free support on the forums and email lists and I hope you realize that.

I'm sorry you feel that way, but the original comment stands. We use the forums
and lists to serve the users and having them decoupled is of no use to us. We
are not going to wait until the forums have bidirectional integration with mail,
which is in the works as part of the Mail Services project:
http://jboss.org/wiki/Wiki.jsp?page=MailServicesPlan. There are no plans to make the list function to your preference in the interim.
Rest assured, they work in accordance with the preferences of the most active
contributors to JBoss.

Subject: RE: [JBoss-user] Why one-way mapping between forums and mailing list?


I sorta find this response to an honest question somewhat offensive.

I don't remember anyone notifying or asking the opinion of the people who where effectively using this email list prior to the forum "integration".
It was the kind folks at JBoss Inc who made this decision and imposed it on the rest of us who were happily using a simple but effective medium for communication (ie email).


So it seems a little odd/out of bounds to me for those same people to now say if you don't like it leave or spend your own time to fix it. You guys are the ones who changed it, so you fix it! Afterall, you do have at least 10 million in the bank now. That should be more then enough to now design and implement the integration the way it should have been done in the first place.

I hope this frank response doesn't black list me, but I'm just trying to be honest about my perception of the situation.

Dustin
