Two good guides on how to stay on a middle path. OK they are a bit too strict but a good start for people as guidlelines.
http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html http://jakarta.apache.org/site/mail.html Remember smart/challenging questions will keep smart people subscribed to the list. I agree it shouldn't be something like the Debian mail-list but still we should choose an in-between path and respect everyone's time/bandwidth wubscribed to the list.

[mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Henry Reardon Sent: Tuesday, July 06, 2004 7:01 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: parsing .class file and .exe file You're taking a rather arrogant approach aren't you? You claim to be speaking for yourself *AND* the majority of subscribers for this list. Did you actually consult the majority of subscribers? Or are you just *assuming* they share your views? Because you didn't consult me and you are not expressing my views either. While posts can occasionally be a waste of time, I think the right approach is to reply to any post that isn't outright spam with a polite reply. It doesn't need to be lengthy. Not everyone is going to ask an "interesting" question but I think everyone deserves basic courtesy. We were all beginners once and we have all been helped into the correct path at some point by people who knew more about something than we did. If experienced people had simply given the cold shoulder to everyone who knew less than they did, none of us would know as much as we now do, including you. Naturally, you are free to ignore this suggestion but please don't presume to speak for others, let alone a majority of others, unless you have actually consulted those you claim to speak for.
