Well, there is a list policy document, but it could be more visible. I think the last time I saw it was when Remy Maucherat introduced himself (herself?) to the list as the new moderator back in November, the list policy was attached. Ways to make it more visible include posting it periodically to the list, posting it on the list web page (e.g. the archives), and sending it out to new subscribers (many list management programs have a way of doing that automatically). > I've been subscribed for a couple of weeks and haven't seen many > posts to do with "Servlets" exactly, which is what I presumed it was > all about.

But if that's all the off-topic stuff you've been seeing, consider yourself lucky :-). It would be nice to have a servlet-related list that excludes servlet-container specific questions, but I think it would be pretty hard to expect that to work -- it can be a fuzzy line, and it'd be hard to get people to abide by that distinction -- I mean, look at this list now, we can't even get people to exclude things that have barely any connection to servlets! > This isn't a complaint BTW just an observation from a newcomer to > the list. > > As with most "technical" lists "RTM or use a search engine" would > answer most posts IMHO.

FWIW, you might look into the advanced-servlets and advanced-servlets-tutorial lists, I think they're on yahoogroups (nee egroups).
