Hellooo Sun, get the message!!

Even the creators of the language are fed up with this sorry excuse for a
mailing list. And Arthur is not the only one contemplating with getting off
the list. However, the e-mail below really alarmed me, since Athur's advice
- as one of the founders of the language - has been invaluable to the
development of our Java community.

Can't we just work together a little to give this alias back its purpose?
