Oops. It was Vinod who had posted the original question and Troy who had exception with the responses. My mistake. Anyway, I believe that Mark gave some valuable info in his initial response.
The old proverb is still apropo: Give a man a fish and he can eat today. Teach him to fish and he can eat for a lifetime. There is nothing wrong with teaching someone to fish for himself! -----Original Message----- From: A mailing list about Java Server Pages specification and reference [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Zerbe John W Sent: Thursday, April 01, 2004 1:03 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: unsubscribe By the way, Troy, both Mark and Erik really were attempting to help you resolve your problem. Both by showing you how to find the answers yourself and by showing you how to ask a question in such a way that shows that you are making an attempt to solve it yourself and failing. The people that respond to questions on this list are very knowledgeable, but will not volunteer to do your job for you. The "obnoxious" statement was your referring to these folks replies as "snide" rather than actually following the links provided and reading what was supplied to you. -----Original Message----- From: A mailing list about Java Server Pages specification and reference [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Troy Brown Sent: Thursday, April 01, 2004 12:46 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: unsubscribe Interesting that the consensus seems to be that my statement was "obnoxious...". A little courtesy goes a long way, which point is apparently wasted here. Did I offend someone? Apologies if so. That said, the people who responded negatively were not the subject of my post, until they spoke up and showed their own ignorance. Defeats the purpose of a help mailing list, if newbies are too afraid of being flamed to post their question. But maybe all you big-brains know better than me... Again, good luck to all. -----Original Message----- From: A mailing list about Java Server Pages specification and reference on behalf of Zerbe John W Sent: Thu 4/1/2004 12:38 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: Subject: Re: unsubscribe Hmmm... Kind of like making an obnoxious statement, turning to leave, and walking into the closet instead of the front door! -----Original Message----- From: A mailing list about Java Server Pages specification and reference [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Mark Galbreath Sent: Thursday, April 01, 2004 12:34 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: unsubscribe nice try, lamer Troy Brown wrote: > > > =========================================================================== To unsubscribe: mailto [EMAIL PROTECTED] with body: "signoff JSP-INTEREST".
