Let me make one thing clear!!
First of all. You're probably right (What, did you think I was going to
disagree? ;)
I monitor this list with the sole intentions of helping others (and myself)
become more proficient/skilled developers. I also monitor every list that
jakarta has (I think) and JBoss.
I am not an architect or even a guru, I simply want to help others, and in
the process I will learn something as well.
When something pops up that I can answer, I answer as best as I can. When
something pops up of interest to me, I read and learn from those who are
more skilled than I. When something pops up that is of no interest to me, I
push delete.
We have a responsibility to be informative and friendly to the newbies.
When someone posts a problem/issue they are having, don't get pissed off and
go ranting and raving about how "stupid" they are. Simply lead them in the
right direction (IN A FRIENDLY MANNER).
You can even have a little fun.
Sometimes I give an answer like:
"Sure, I've written all about it on my homepage."
and then give them a link from google search page.
To be honest, if you consider yourself to be skilled enough to talk about
servlets, but have a distaste talking about data access (whatever the
method) then you should probably unsubscribe. Ya, I know, its not what the
list is intended for the list, but come on......give a guy a break already.
