Hi, Adding to the Leo's point I would say that the main aim of this mailing list is to guide NS2 users and help them solve their problems that they are facing. It becomes very difficult when the students want their assignments and projects done by other people. I have had fair share of mercy appeals for such kindness, which I am not willing to do. Having said that an organised NS2 mailing list is needed and every person should take moral responsibility of notifying on mailing list about the solution (s)he found for their NS2 problems.
