Alex, please treat people on this list respectfully even if you think they are 'chatters'. I am sure we all can handle such chatters appropriately with our MUA of choice if we have to ;)
Beside that I do not consider Mohamed's question off-topic. Always keep in mind that everybody on this list and every question is always welcome! Especially if it comes from an OpenEJB committer like Mohamed who spend an reasonable amount of his personal time to contribute important work to OpenEJB on a pro bono basis.
