Julia, maybe you have lots of time on your hands with nothing to do, but I
find that wading through the hundreds of messages in this list and the
others that I subscribe to each day takes a lot of time. I have work to do
as well as the small amount of time I can take to keep up with these
technical resources. If the large number of off-topic messages were removed,
it would take a LOT less time to keep up with the list. Each message takes a
small amount of time to scan and delete. Multiply that times the number of
messages and the number of people reading this list and you come up with a
huge amount of wasted time. Just because someone was too lazy to take the
time to fire up google.com and search for 'java barchart' or 'SQL Server
driver java'.

In answer to the other guy's comment - people don't have to register for
every obscure list out there to ask questions on topics like barcharting.
You could use that same rationale to ask questions about legal issues, sex,
etc here, since it is certain that some list members would have such
information. That's what newsgroups, the web, etc are for. It is definitely
not what JSP_INTEREST is for.

If you don't think a post on this list is pertinent or interesting, can't
you
just delete it?  Similar to the way we all delete your posts, for example.
By the way, does anyone know where I can find a good C++ compiler?
