All well and good. But here's the thing. I don't *need* this group: my Javascript chops already get managers of frameworks like ExtJS and YUI interested in hiring me. With this group my skills will go from an 8.5 to a 9+ more quickly than they might otherwise. But I need this group less, than this group would benefit from my participation. That being said, next troll who insinuates I'm not intelligent could very well get a profanity laden response from me, and if that results in me getting banned from the group, the group will suffer more than me. So for now I say, let's call out the spammers and the trolls for who they are, so that I can have as long of a run on here as possible ;) But the shame is, there are perfectly civil usenet and Google groups out there, where I've never been tempted to just rip somebody for insinuating I'm not intelligent (comp.lang.tcl comes to mind), but this is already not one of them. But I thought that was the mission statement of this group?
