I agree with you that if you know the answer please respond. No question is
too dumb.
Sometimes I ask question about how to solve a certain thing for instance
using a tag-lib and throwing exceptions. This is not an Orion question but
an Interest question.
Unless this is if (Orion && Interest) I guess I've used it wrong. However
this should not be a list where we discuss what kind of list this is and
where we tell people off because it's monday and I've spent a few minutes
reading a posting which was not relevant to me.
Can we please keep it a Q/A list?
