I was speaking in context of the mailing list's future. Yes, I could have
said it better. When I said "remain on the list", I was meaning "should we
just suck it up and wait until we don't get any JSP questions at all?"
That's the direction we're headed.

*shrug* I don't mind people thinking they have to flame me. At least it's
based on meta-JSP. Besides, it prevents them from spending time thinking up
dumb questions. :)

Ach, so... but "FROM A JSP" is irrelevant in this case. If they were able to
do it from an application, yet not from a JSP, I'd agree fully, with no
reserve. This is a simple "How do I get JDBC to recognize SQL Server?"
question, which is JDBC, not JSP. (Besides, I did point him in the right
direction.)
