Greetings All!
My first and final post on this the OFF-TOPIC issue, please indulge me.
"JSP-Interest: A mailing list about Java Server Pages specification and
reference."
To Mr. Koon and Mr. Ottinger: I can appreciate and understand your opinions
on this issue.
"JSP-Interest: A mailing list about Java Server Pages specification and
reference."
In response to Mr. Koon, I disagree with you. You are accusing Mr. Ottinger
of flaming the posters of stupid questions. I have only seen Mr. Ottinger
flame the posters of stupid off-topic questions; people seem to be missing
this argument. We are all frustrated by the off-topic posts. I especially
loath the 'how do I unsubscribe?' messages (when the instructions are listed
at the bottom of every post).
"JSP-Interest: A mailing list about Java Server Pages specification and
reference."
In Mr. Ottinger's defense, he has politely answered JSP questions in this
list (most of them simple). While I understand his actions, I do not agree
with them; however, I will not condemn him. If we ignore the off-topic
questions, I believe they will soon dissipate. Flaming the sender results
in a defensive reaction followed by support from both sides. (The single
"JDBC Drivers comparing" post resulted in 1 initial post and 7 follow-ups on
that thread followed by this and other threads).
"JSP-Interest: A mailing list about Java Server Pages specification and
reference."
We can often identify the off-topic posts by their subject; please ignore
them. Perhaps we should put the list description in every post:
"JSP-Interest: A mailing list about Java Server Pages specification and
reference." Of course, it is already in the name of the Reply-To address,
how many times do we need to publish it for the point to stick ( from
message header -> "Reply-To: A mailing list about Java Server Pages
specification and reference <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>" ).
