I'd like to make something clear for the list as a whole.
Apache is strong on building community and flames work directly against
that. For starters see
http://www.apache.org/foundation/faq.html#what-is-apache-NOT-about .
Apache is discussing ways to make the community even more welcoming. For
the start of just one of the more recent threads see:

If you are composing a post that you feel requires a flame warning, I
suggest stepping back, reconsidering it, and seeing where it needs to be
toned back.
Any Derby user should feel free to post to this list without concern
that you'll be flamed. If you do get flamed, someone will likely jump in
and douse those flames. And if a negative interaction slips through the
cracks, I invite you to please send me email. I don't want a negative
interaction on this list getting in the way of your successfully using
Derby.
derby-user is a flame free zone -- let's all work together to keep it
that way.
