I have contacted the OP privately, explaining my position and why I sent the response I did. I did not mean to start a flame war - the lack of information relevant to this mailing list and it's source prompted me to send perhaps a stronger response than was necessary. My comment about Nabble was, as a few of you have pointed out, neither informative or helpful, so my apologies to the list for that part of my post.
My real gripe with the original post stands: The OP didn't preface the post as being Off Topic, and didn't let us know that they had in fact already done a fair bit of research into the issue they were experiencing or what that research entailed. That was information that should have been included, and would have resulted in all of our being well and prepared to help in any way we could; after all, we've all been there many times ourselves. To the list admins, I certainly didn't mean for my post to be interpreted as my trying to muscle in on making list policy.
