I for one have seen a marked decrease in the quality of
discussions and an increase in vendor specific stuff. Since
I work for a vendor, I exclude myself from almost all of
these discussions.
The purpose of this group is to support EJB, not vendor
products. I read this to learn about issues pertaining to
EJB, not to read nor distribute "marketing" materials, nor
read manuals for someone else. You are right in sending
people to the vendors web site.

Subject: Re: EJB-INTEREST makes NO SENSE anymore !!!!!
I believe that the only way to clean up the list is for the members
to be self policing. I got to the point where I couldn't stand the
number of emails that had no, much less meaningful, subject lines
about a month or so ago. I then started responding privately to the
posters that they should provide meaningful subject lines and I've
noticed that there has been a large dropoff of the number of
occurrences in those kinds of emails.
I suggest that for product specific questions that people refrain
from answering the questions publicly and privately reply with
something like:
Please go to <vendor> web site.
This only takes a few seconds and will dramatically reduce the number
of repeat offenders.

Don Bate
