Mailing List Load.... Forum???
Hi, Well ofcourse I know that the mailing list is heavily loaded, but it is going beyond my control... Can we have forum kind of mechanism instead, so that the users can log in to the net wherein queries/replies can be placed. This is my request. I feel that this approach will help the tomcat users a lot. Any other solutions are welcome... It is tooo... much for my mail client and net connection to handle, so I am signing off. Will look forward for the tomcat forum... ;-) Thx mano - Sify Mail - now with Anti-virus protection powered by Trend Micro, USA. Know more at http://mail.sify.com Take the shortest route to success!

I think this list would make an excellent usenet group ( comp.lang.java.server-side ? ). I read the documents that you need to read before writing a usenet new newsgroup proposal. Those docs said it was VITAL to have good justifications for your proposed group in your proposal. According to the docs about the only universally accepted justification for a new usenetgroup would be a mailing list under HEAVY, HEAVY traffic. Thats this list. If the owners of the list are interested in working with me I'll pitch in some work in creating a proposal for a comp.lang.java-server-side Steve -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]

How about just changing subscription options to digest mode instead? Easily done, and can be done on an individual basis. If this group were to switch to Usenet, I'd have to unsubscribe. In my opinion, the only way a Usenet group makes any sense is if it's moderated.

If you're really interested in this, you should contact the person that tried it back then, and see what his plans are, whether he plans to retry with all the wisdom gained from that experience.

Re: Mailing List Load.... Forum???
Hello there, Milton, this is Steve Burrus again, and since you didn't see fit to respond back to my email message to u last nite, I thought that I would give you another electronic shout right now! Listen, I think that the proposal to create a comp.lang.java-server-side new newsgroup is A WONDERFUL IDEA!!!I simply cannot stress/emphasize this enough, as far as I am personally concerned!!! I mean, I have looked around ALL of the available newsgroups for some time now and found nothing at all in the way of a newsgroup that even remotely dealt with the server-side of Java Programming!! And, I will admit just to u that I am now actively studying to create a career for myself of being some kind of a server-side Java programmer! I was wondering why the hell is there not already a server-side Java Programming newsgroup floating around cyberspace?? Well Milt, will you please try to do a better job of responding back to me than the poor job that you apparently did last nite? Yours Truly, Steve R.

If the owners of the list are interested in working with me I'll pitch in some work in creating a proposal for a comp.lang.java-server-side Thought this list was specifically for Tomcat and related issues - not the general java-server-side. If folks want to go and create a comp.lang.java-server-side independent of this list, I am all for that. das p.s.

RE: Mailing List Load.... Forum???
Hey STEVE R BURRUS! (And anyone else that wants to adopt an I EXPECT you to help me! attitude.) It's really bad netiquette to say things like since you didn't see fit to respond to my email message to u last nite, and more especially will you please try to do a better job of responding back to me than the poor job that you apparently did last nite? Something more along the lines of My message may have gotten lost in the mix last night, so I'm resending in case someone can help me out. and I don't know if my previous reply got sent correctly, so here's a second try. are much more likely to get the desired response. Be a little courteous, a little humble, and little grateful, and you'd be amazed at how much support you'll get in return. My two cents.
