I just want to say that this list serve has been invaluable to a newbie like me ;-) I posted a question earlier today and literally 10 minutes later I got an answer that helped me solve my problem. This is proof that there is a experienced and energetic community behind this FOSS group of projects and I really appreciate everyone who has put up with my otherwise trivial questions! More importantly, thanks to all of the contributors who make the whole thing possible! I attended the Lucene Revolution conference in Boston this year and the information that I was able to take away from the whole thing has made me and my vocation a lot more valuable. Keep up the outstanding work in the discovery of useful information from a sea of bleh ;-)
Kindest regards, Adam
