The IDEA lists generate a lot of traffic however, and having waded through endless JDK 1.4 questions on other lists (apple-java to be specific), I'm developing a very short fuse and a knee jerk reaction towards anything with '1.4' in it. I apologise for my harsh tone, kind of. The idea (no pun intended) behind it is that it'd force people to think a bit more before posting!

It's quite alright, if I'm harsh, it's only fair that you're harsh in response! > but haven't we all the right > to ask some stupid or not so stupid questions? Heh, this is the sentence that inspired me to actually respond! I'd like to respond with a big fat NO! You do in theory have the right to ask stupid questions on any mailing list, others on the list equally have the right to point out what a stupid question it is. Contrary to popular belief, there IS such a thing as stupid questions, and often, not asking is a far superior course of action to asking. _______________________________________________ Eap-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.intellij.com/mailman/listinfo/eap-list
