All these fuss about about off-topic questions. The problem is definitely two sided: one side is people who are lazy and are lack of investigative motivation; the other side is people who are being impatient and sometimes arrogant. =) The fact is that some off-topic questions can be helpful/informative, however, an increased amount of those non-sense or if-you-just-think-about-it-alittle, or put-in-a-bit-investigation-you'll-know type of question becomes annoying. So in order to discourage people posting moronic questions, if you don't like it, just simply ignore it; from time to time the people will realize they can't get any answers here and will definitely look elsewhere. If you feel the question can be easily answered with a bit reading and you know where it is, just give a URL without any comment; Doing this will make the questioner ask more questions and consequently will not get any more answers from anyone, then he/she will start looking at the link and try to find his/her solution. (and hopefully, this will train them to be more self-motivated) =========================================================================== To unsubscribe: mailto [EMAIL PROTECTED] with body: "signoff JSP-INTEREST".
