I've been on this list for more than 3 years; it is self-moderating. Only once has an individual been banned and that was for posting constant racial flames. The policing of the list has always been done by its dedicated users using standard hacker methods (see: http://www.tuxedo.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html - read it, learn it, live it). If you find this offensive, too bad. The people who have the power to yank someone have better things to do than listen to (much less act on) a few whiners complaining about somebody violating their particular notion of political correctness.
There are lists and newsgroups for all the major containers, but questions regarding Tomcat in particular are mostly tolerated here because Tomcat 4.x is the official reference implementation of Servlet 2.2 and 2.3 (the old-timers will remember JSDK 1.x bundled with JWS 1.1 and 2.0). I, too, have noticed fewer servlet-specific posts here over the past few months, and that may be because so many beginning servlet developers have gone to the Jakarta struts-user list and many expert developers have opted for the advance-servlets list. In any event, a sense of humor, while not mandatory, sure improves life - virtual and otherwise.

Please don't post job requests here. Are their any guidelines for what this was meant to be when it was set up? I've been subscribed for a couple of weeks and haven't seen many posts to do with "Servlets" exactly, which is what I presumed it was all about. The majority are about servlet containers, I use ServletExec and they have an interest mailing list, don't Tomcat etc.. have specific lists? This isn't a complaint BTW just an observation from a newcomer to the list. As with most "technical" lists "RTM or use a search engine" would answer most posts IMHO. I was hoping for a bit more to be honest from a group with SUN in the name.
