so piss off and go somewhere else.

Remember everytime you read a post that you consider "simple" there are at
least 10 other people in the world that know more than you do and would
consider any question you asked to be "simple"

Subject: Re: Joseph Ottinger (Yes, O/T)


  Hi folks,
I have admiration for Mr. Joseph Ottinger. Every time
I read an OT/ultra-dummy question, I simply inveigh
(what a difficult english word), I wish to flame 'em
all but I never do it -- just because I don't want to
*loose* my time... the questions are so stupid that
any answer would not take them much forward. But J.
Ottinger is better than me: he replies!

Then, I think there would be much to discuss about the
term "simple question" too. There are
- ultra-dummy questions that any search with a search
engine (or simply type www.my-very-desired-answer.com)
would answer and
- on-topic simple questions.

The former should be flamed, the latter should be
answered.
I always asked myself: how is it possible that a
person, who is able to _join_ a mailing and _post_ a
question, is not able to use a search engine? I have
learned to use search engines much before being able
to interact with a mailing list... what about them?

I read 6 mailing lists -- no other of them has a so
basic-dummy-childish level as this JSP-interest.
There was a thread about OT questions on the
EJB-INTEREST mailing list some day ago -- I laughed
about it, the so-called "OT" questions _there_ would
be "mega-interesting-on-topic" questions compared to
the level of the posts _here_.

  Happy flaming to all...
  Andrea V.
