You're of great value to this community mate. You'll be worked off your feet before you know it. Are you aware of the FAQ project? Some people on the list (including myself) tried to setup an overarching FAQ a while ago, it floundered a bit through lack of organisation I think... I can let you have the listserver name if you're interested and perhaps you could use some of your organisationl energy to get it back up and going again? BTW I mailed the Hilderbrandt bloke with the attached. Thought you'd be interested. Nic Ferrier

Couldn't disagree more. If exper replies are not given on the list there will never be any material in the archive for people to search. Also sometimes experts are wrong but other experts only joing in when they spot that correction needs to be made. >Finally, is there not a list moderator of sorts out there, or is this some >form of anarchist exercise? You may have noticed that the experts on the list provide moderation of sorts. Sun do not provide moderation (other than throwing people off if they start to issue assination threats) because the Servlet team is understaffed. >Are we really just guinea pigs? What does this mean? Are not your questions answered (for the most part) promptly? Nic Ferrier
