It's going to get worse. Nevertheless, you will never be able to manage the number/technical level of users in an open forum. SERVLET-INTEREST became too congested with basic setup and config questions by people too lazy to search the archive for an answer (and how many scores of questions have been asked here regarding ActionForm in just the past 2 weeks?) so a few guys created ADVANCED-SERVLET-INTEREST and began regulating the level of users.
One thing that helped, however, was being brutally blunt with obviously lame users and telling them to STFA (search the f*cking archives), STFW (...web) and RTFM. This started a couple of flame wars, and the Sun moderator finally had to banish a few people, but the quality and quantity of posts changed considerably for the better. I'm not suggesting that's an answer, but my delete key has been getting a lot of attention lately....

I guess I'm neutral on this one. - Cody "Barr, Scott [IBM GSA]" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> on 02/11/2002 08:01:41 PM I disagree. Most messages are relatively small, and so long as people dont send attachments there generally isn't too much of a problem. The delete key is a great filter :) Scott > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Tuesday, February 12, 2002 12:28 PM > > I second that motion.
