Even though it's Friday, I feel compelled to make a comment about "Friday mail" here. Please listen.
As many of you have noted, STRUTS-USER has a slightly different feel than a lot of user-support-type mailing lists -- with a little humor and off topic discussions of interesting related stuff (like XP last week) creeping in. Partly, this feel was a deliberate attempt on my part to make the Struts community a little more human-feeling (and in particular, as a reaction to some of the open source developers who are total jerks when dealing with "mere users" :-). Over the last two years, the balance has been pretty good overall -- new and old users get help, people are treated (for the most part) nicely, and we get to have a little fun now and again. Over the last week, the balance has tipped -- when the volume of OT messages in the last two days is substantially higher than the number of on topic questions and answers, you know there is a problem. I'm not interested in squashing the fun. I am interested in going back to the balance we had before -- mostly on topic, a few human interest topics (on Fridays mostly), and useful interaction on the topic of the frameork. It doesn't take a lot of abuse of ~1800 people's mailboxes to destroy the sense of community that we've worked hard to build. OK guys -- can we go back to Struts now?
