Maybe a moderator is needed, though perhaps Sun don't want to assign
somebody this role. I would be happy with a moderated group personally,
although occasionally the off-topic posts are useful in my own work.
For some reason, many popular developer-focussed forums seem to
degenerate into off-topic posts and poor answers. I remember it happening
to comp.lang.c several (too many!) years ago, though that's sure not
to be the only example.
Does anybody know of any moderated jsp-interest like lists?

Subject: Re: java.sql question
Well, IMHO some of the answers were a magnitide dummer than the original
question.
Besides the "out of the office" replies, that's the most annoying thing on
this list.
Of topic questions, I can live with, but if you do answer a question, please
check whether you're more or less correct. I don't mind a typo or a non
optimal solution, but if you're not sure about your answer, please state so.
If someone answers to the original "java.sql question"
"Select * from tab"
without any more explanation, that reallty pisses me off.
It's just giving bad advice. If he at least said
"well, with the DBMS I use, you could try something like ..."
but no,
Honestly, I think the average level of answers on this list is far below
zero.
What are we gonna do about that?
