Me.

We're not "attacking" you at random--we just don't think you make a lot 
of sense a lot of the time and often add more confusion than value.

When you obfuscate issues under what's often essentially random (to us) 
source code it's really important to let the original poster *know* that 
it's completely unrelated to the question. It's not that we don't *want* 
you to contribute, we just want the contributions to be meaningful, 
accurate, helpful, etc. I mean, come on: you've posted XW 1.x code, 
Spring MVC code, told people there's a bug because some code didn't 
exist (when clearly it *must*)... there are a *lot* of examples.

We've tried the polite route: we've asked you repeatedly to clarify why 
you've posted what you did or explain its relevance to the thread. The 
vast majority of the time we get no response. That's why people started 
joking about you being a bot.

I'm *imploring* you to be more careful when responding to people's 
questions. Be a force of good, not confusion.

Dave

Hi,
I'm new to this list so I don't know how is who... but it was clear for me
from the beginning that Martin answers had no relation with my original
e-mail (that's why I didn't answer his first e-mail and only answered to the
second to be polite)... If you guys think someone is abusing the list by
repeatedly posting meaningless/confusing messages, isn't there an action
that can be undertaken to fix that?

Coming back to the original subject.... I would like to thank you all for
your time and well thought answers...

Best regards,

Ernesto

this has been a long time coming.
Martin: I also appreciate your efforts as you try to answer questions but as
dave said..most of the time they make the poster more confused.
