It seems that you are missing the single most important facet of Jakarta Commons here - community. Commons is one community, and splitting off one component into separate mailing lists also splits the community. This has already been demonstrated by the HttpClient component. You are, of course, free to choose whether or not you want to be a part of the Jakarta Commons community. But what you seem to be suggesting is that we should split our community into two because you don't want to set up a filter to split off your Math mail from the rest. That's not acceptable to me. -- Martin Cooper > > But I am likely to leave the list because of the > mails, but maybe you would like to restrict the list > to people interested in the while bunch?
