Bill Hines needs to get a life. I don't agree at all. People are not holding
a gun to your head saying "RESPOND!" Pick what topics you want to read and
delete the rest. Life is too short. Also flaming beginners and anyone else
will just scare them away from Java and the listserve. Java needs all the
advocates it can get. There are enough police in these world, and we don't
need the listserve police. This listserve is part of the opensource
community whether you know it or not.
