it seems what Mr. Husgaard said is reasonable..:P we need not shut down this list right? -----Original Message----- From: Ole Husgaard [mailto:os...@sp...] Sent: Wednesday, July 11, 2001 2:25 PM To: jbo...@li...

VERY STRONGLY !!! It looks to me like you want to shut down this list just because you want to FORCE the users of this list to use whatever smart web service you have set up. But: - Not everybody has web access. - Not everybody can navigate the JBoss web site. For example, I have been unable to use it for months (since the last major redesign) with my old Netscape 4.61. - When reading mail, you can be offline. But navigating a web site requires that you are online. For some people, being online is expensive: I pay about about US$2.50 per hour online. - Lots of people want to continue using their good old mailers, and do not want to learn some new interface just to provide free support. - Some people that insist on using mail to ask for help might just start abusing the developer lists instead. So if this list is shut down, it will IMHO be a MAJOR LOSS for the JBoss project. So PLEASE do not shut it down just because you want to FORCE people to use your new service! If you do not think that this list is any good, you are free to stop using it yourself, and anybody who agree with you are free to stop supporting people on this list. But PLEASE do not kill it just because you do not think that you do not get enough traffic at your website! If you want to unsubscribe from this list yourself, that's your choice. But PLEASE do not FORCE everybody else. Did I make myself clear?
