Just to clarify, I am okay with dumb newbie questions. I still ask them myself (even after a year and a half of struts). I just think we need to trim our discussions about what IDE is best, or the neat new taglib (that are not even related ot struts), or whatever. Beer talk on a Friday is kinda part of the culture of this board. I enjoy it. I have just noticed an exceptional amount of... "I know this is off topic, but..." kinda stuff going on. Too much really. I don't want this to be a sterile clinical Mailing List (that would be boring). But, I also don't want it to digress into a general post it board. So, let's keep the life and lose the peripheral non-struts stuff. In other words, at least try to make it sound like what you are posting is related to struts. Otherwise, find another board to post on. Something that is more appropriate to your topic. :-)

I'm a newbie to Struts, when I signed onto the mailing list I read the article how to ask a good question. Two keys were RTFM and STFW. So read, then search, then ask. -----Original Message----- From: Tero P Paananen [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, August 28, 2002 2:16 PM To: Struts Users Mailing List Subject: RE: Are we getting off the topic > This board is too valuable to me. Any thoughts? > Agree... Disagree....? Agree STRONGLY. There's a reason why I subscribe to Struts mailing list and not to "General Java" or "Tomcat Debug" mailing list. Furthermore, if people would spend even 5 minutes trying to search answers to their questions using Google or the mailing list archives, many of the questions wouldn't need to be asked in the first place, because they've already been asked and answered several times. Have some consideration for those of us who receive several hundred emails a day and really do not have time to shift through all the crap. -TPP -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
