Wouldnt it be sufficient for the users of this list to simply stop replying to people when they do not follow the very simple set of rules set out on the apache website?
I personally dont feel we should be catering to people who so obviously are making no attempt to conform to proper list usage. If people stopped replying to questions that were not appropriate to the list, these people would eventually get fed up and leave. At worst, they start posting tons of flames to the list which is already happening anyway. Mr Burris for instance has been told by several members of the list, that this is not the appropriate forum for JSP/java yet many of the same people who have given him this response still continue to answer his questions. This shouldnt happen. Some might think this a harsh way to deal with the problem since it may mean that some newbies will not get the proper help. However, if they followed the directions for subscribing to the list, then they should have read, http://jakarta.apache.org/site/mail.html and shouldnt be having these sorts of problems. If they didnt take the time to read it, tough.
