My 2 cents here...
I think it is very sad that some people who are not aware of the "rules" of this mailing lists get flamed for sending e-mails that are not so "servlet-related". Some of these people are just looking for some information that we are able to provide. I agree that they may not be looking at the right place but hey, this is no reason to be rude or impolite... It is very easy to answer the question and invite the person to find another source of information for that kind of question. The result would be the same, for all of us. Who likes to be flamed ? Nobody. Who has the right to "type-rage" (as in Road-Rage) ? Nobody. This place is highly specific for advanced questions regarding servlets all right, which means it is not about flaming and letting people having their little power-trip against others. A little sense of respect is always good.
I really do not mean to attack anyone with this, just wanted to take some people back to their human side. Stop flaming, stop insulting, stop type-rage... The guy who send this question, the "I'm looking for a good grocery store in the vermont area", didn't know that the list was "restricted". Maybe he registered like 5 minutes before sending his e-mail. You will say "well it was his responsibility to look at the level of posts on the list before pissing everybody off with his carp", I agree. Which does not mean that one has the right to flame the guy.
My 2 cents.
Have a nice day all !
Max.
