people,
this is true nature of this kind of topics in the net.
Solutions to this problem for several days are as follows:
1. moderate the list. needs a good volunteer.
2. put the rules, and apply them to all of the users, such as:
        a) send mails in topics, like
                INFO: for your info, announcement of a new site
                SUMMARY: java window error
                QUESTION: awt class documnetation
        topics can be extended when needed to..
        b) do not send any answers to questions directly to the list.
rather use, direct mail. But the question asker MUST summarize everything
and send in a SUMMARY file.

please think about it, before continuing to discuss java, and exchange
info, we must rearrange the list to make Hoff to come back.

best wishes,
