I agree with Joseph. When I ask a question, I ask the appropriate forum. I
belong to a JavaScript mailing list, and that is where I ask my JavaScript
questions. When I have a ColFusion question, I go to the Allaire website to
post my question. I think he displays his anger because other people are
unwilling to work to find the appropriate forum. People ask off topic
questions on this list because it's easy. As a result, our mailboxes get
filled with junk, and one (like myself) who subscribes just for "JSP help"
finds this annoying. And furthermore, if one asks the appropriate forum,
they are more likely to get a correct answer. The fact that Joseph comes off
like an asshole is irrelevant.

Subject: Re: Sequence Problem
Heh, this sounds like someone else's response to me a while back: "If you're
so smart, why are you here?"
I didn't point out the obvious, that the person who said that was basically
saying, "This list is for morons only."
I disagree; this list is for people interested in JSP, thus "JSP-Interest."
As one who's interested in JSP, I'm on the list. Easy to work out, don't you
think?
As far as why I stay on the list despite so many offtopic or misinformed
questions... well, what can I say? Hope springs eternal.
