I agree with Craig here... He is quiet right about the mailing problem... I had been using my company id and have been told by them to unsubscribe from the due to the volume of messages coming in. Despite the volume if the mails had something to defend I could've done it. But the never ending flow of OTs like these which are of no use to anyone is not quiet the way anyone would like!
Friday of the week is over... At least from this point on let us cut this off.

And perhaps its time to reign in the freedom to cut up a little on Fridays. With freedom comes responsibility, and there's been way too many abuses of that freedom lately (including this thread). > If you don't like wasting time with [OT] posts, filter them. Every > decent mail client will allow you to do that. Note that filtering is not a complete answer. Consider a scenario where you are subscribed to a list like this from your company email address, where you have (explicitly or implicitly) agreed to whatever terms of use your company's IT department imposes on you. In more than a few companies, incoming email messages are scanned for inappropriate content -- and you could be violating the policies even if you have a personal filter set up so that *you* don't have to read the messages. "But I didn't read it" isn't going to be a very useful defense -- any more than if your mom caught you reading Playboy when growing up, and you tried "but I didn't look at the pictures, I was only reading the articles!" I'd like to point you at a blog written recently by an industry colleague, who has been observing what's going on here: http://www.groundside.com/blog/content/DuncanMills/J2EE%20Development/2005/0 7/08/Respect.html Even though Duncan works for a company that competes with my employer, and builds a tool that is competitive with the one I work on, I still consider him a friend, like many things about his product, and collaborate with him where possible to improve the overall state of the industry. I wholeheartedly subscribe to his comments about respect, and would like to see a return to the way that the Struts user list worked (nearly all of the time) until fairly recently -- where respect was the norm. Today it is not ... and even in jest many of the comments are innappropriate and embarrasing (to the rest of the community, for having to be associated with it). If you're only here for the Friday [OT] humor, then I suggest you find a different place to cut loose. The purpose of this list is to answer user questions about Struts and all its related technologies -- and you'll sure like how you look on a Google search ten years from now for your name if you've posted like a mature adult instead of an immature 8-year-old.
