I'm heavily into some app lists (JBoss, Orion and Tomcat, FWIW) and
there's some interesting stuff happening on all of them. None of them
are "cold", though some are tightly focused. One thing that I do like
about this list is the really low incidence of thread high jacking,
spamming and thread breaking I see on other lists. People here tend to
be smart and forthright about presenting their views and opinions.

Okay, I know that some people can get a bit carried away, but that's
natural.

I suggest installing Windows XP and Exchange. When you're not receiving
posts you can't be offended by how OT they are :P Which reminds me of
one interview I went to where their outgoing sysadmin posed me a
toughie:

What's the standard protocol for transferring emails?

The wrong answer was SMTP, I was surprised to learn. 

Damn, wandering off topic. 

Cheers,

Simon
