I have always enjoyed reading this mailing list, but since I have left Sun
it has deteriorated into useless gibberish. It's a shame because it used
to be a useful medium for quickly getting technical questions answered,
the quality use to be fairly high.
I'm afraid I can offer no help. My advice is to change your email address,
buy a Java book and sulk. This will be my last message to this list unless
it gets moderated.
PS: Maybe someone should start a properly moderated mailing list for Java
enthusiasts. I'd sign up for that!
Have fun,
