Actually, I think it did exactly what was needed.  For a couple of years
it siphoned off ten or twenty percent of the really simple or very
non-iSeries related questions, and then (perhaps as Java lost some of
its luster) the number of Java issues in general died down and JAVA101
became pretty quiet.  And at the same time, for the beginning questions,
I think people were able to move to other more suitable resources like
JavaRanch; my guess is there are similar places where someone's would be
better spent for beginning SQL questions.

But I'm not going to waste time arguing the merits of any new lists.  In
the end it's up to David.
