Thanks Bryce,
I'm well aware of gmane. Also, I run a 200+ member group on Yahoo groups
that was the first Struts Users Group in existence.
Problem is.....that's still a mailing list....the same as this one. Why
would anyone participate on that list and not on this one? For us
(struts-atlanta)....well....it is for our local (Atlanta, GA) group. It is
a private list now, because, when it was public, there were more spams than
real traffic.
Why go through the hassle?
I believe the original intent was for a chat-style messaging client via MSN
messenger (or AIM or Yahoo or Foo). The only effective chat client I've
seen work for anyone wanting to do this (broadcast vs 1 to 1), would be IRC.
You will see that pop up from time to time (especially with some of the long
standing members in our community). I used to get on and have some fun with
the folks there, but it lately I've just been too busy responding to users
questions ;) ....and working. The only problem with IRC is that there is a
lot of OT noise (mostly from people like me ;) and has ......guess
what...."no history for people to google against".....someone already said
that....hmmm ;)
I'm not trying to be a smart-a##, just realistic.
Have a good one!

Why would you do this? You will end up answering the same questions over
and over again because there is no history for people to google against.
I get questions emailed directly to me from time to time. My response is
usually something like...."take it to the list, unless you want to pay for
my time". Most usually ask on the list after that. My corporate rate is
"business friendly", but not "college homework" or "i'm too lazy to google"
friendly ;)
