I think it would be a shame to shut down the list. I found it to be one of the most valuable resources when I was initially tinkering with iText for my company, and now we have it embedded into our infrastructure. The book is good, but sometimes you simply were not sure what you were looking for, and the mailing list gave a way forward. Especially given we had previously used a VERY out of date version of iText and we were trying to update that as well as write new code.
If it does shut-down I can only say thank you for the free technical help for when we started out (but now we are licensed from you guys :-) ), and just know that the live support from you and other developers/users was one of the reasons we chose iText as our main PDF generation product.

I see many +1's for answers in favor of keeping the mailing list. I'm an autist, and one of my limitations is that I can't stand an unanswered question (even if it's a rhetorical one). Maybe we should think of a pre-canned answer that isn't offensive. A one-answer-fits-many-questions solution for the questions that should be posted on another forum (such as stackoverflow). ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------ Don't let slow site performance ruin your business.
