Lim, I am the moderator of this list.  If I haven't said anything about
a post, you can assume that I find it acceptable, and really it's my
opinion that counts (and David Gibbs', of course, because he runs ALL of
these mailing lists).

I think Franco's post wasn't meant to be insulting, but instead was
meant to point out what several others have said: Rajesh's question
shows a lack of general Java knowledge that would be better served on
some of the general Java forums, like Sun's or JavaRanch.

That being said, Rajesh can feel free to post any Java-related questions
here (it's not like this list is overflowing with traffic and filling
anyone's mailbox).  However, most of us who program Java for the iSeries
probably don't have a lot of time to answer beginning questions.  We're
more likely to answer questions related to our areas of expertise, which
will probably be iSeries-related.

In any case, if someone on the list has a problem with someone else's
post, I'd prefer you bring it to my attention - email me directly -
rather than correcting them in the list.  Given the multi-national
nature of the list, even well-meaning posts can be misunderstood and in
any event they clutter the bandwidth.
