Hi, I suspect knowledgeable and helpful people are also very busy people, and unlikely to stick around when receiving 200+ emails come Monday morning! The community is great, the correspondence valuable. I frequent the www.codeguru.com Java Programmers forum, and it works astonishingly well. These forums are made available to eCommunities by independent parties - perhaps at a cost, I'm not sure. Actually, I'm developing an eForum in Java at present (private project), and I have the site to run it if required. If nothing has changed by the time it's complete, I'll offer it for free.

Only new to the Tomcat User Mail List and may likely opt out soon to conserve my Inbox, but wanted to say that getting 91 emails in one session (2 were relevant to the question I asked) isn't helping me or likely of much use to anyone else for that matter either. (Perhaps my ISP who charges by the amount downloaded?) I have limited exposure to Tomcat and the docs and config files to some extent, so I probably could help a few, but not if I have to keep clearing my my Inbox every hour or so. Newsgroups are what I got used to for Netware, with the various products broken up into different categories like install, utils and so on, that ANYONE can browse, and if you see a message that you can offer some help to, just click on 'reply to group', say your piece and send; no cluttered Inboxes and, I suspect, a lot less traffic for the server. A moderator (unknown) vets/removes anything of a stupid/antisocial nature, and in five plus years that I've experienced it, it seems to have worked well. I've received emails recently that are proposing eForum(s), and, while the format is unknown to me, believe there is a sound basis for looking at changing the way the users list works, regardless of the method used. $0.02 Norm --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
