I think everyone knows where to find course information if they're
interested in them, particularly Learning Tree (whose forests of catalogs I
have to constantly pitch in the trash, despite asking them not to send any
more).

I've participated in too many newsgroups and listservs that were ruined when
one person/company started advertising, then the competition started to feel
left out, and before you know it a forum with nearly all good content turns
into 50% garbage that has to be filtered out. These listservs are one of the
final fronts where we don't have to be constantly hammered by advertising in
our face, and when you open the door, see how quickly it goes downhill.

But it sounds like I'm the only one bothered by this, so if that's the case
then I guess majority rules!

I for one do not see any need for such an apology.

Short one-time announcements that are of interest to the servlet and JSP
communities are on topic as far as I'm concerned, and are documented as such
in
the welcome message that all of us received when we subscribed to these
lists.  On
this particular topic, the need for educational materials related to
servlets and
JSP is very evident -- I'm glad that someone decided to act in response to
this
need.

Now, if you want to talk about off topic, how about all the requests for
help on
JDBC and what "==" means ... :-)
