Is this forum moniter by JBoss??

[mcaughey]

It appears this forum is rarely monitored by anyone other people asking for help. The only response I've gotten on any of my postings over te past few weeks is one inwhich someontold me I posted ot the wrong group.


Does anyone know of a group which i monitored and where you can actually get some help?

thanks,
Michael

I monitor this forum continually (at least once a week),
though I can't say I read every single post.

I don't answer FAQs or just plain repeat/lazy questions.
Nor do I play 20 questions when the question is unanswerable for lack of information.

I used to go through the forum and moderate it with

Moderated: FAQ
Moderated: Wrong forum
Moderated: Use READ THIS FIRST

but that just became tedious when 99% of my answers were of this form.

Now I just ignore them and let people figure it out for themselves (which most people don't).

I know genman, schrouf and darranl drop in regularly as well.

They are more tolerant of lazy users...

or don't have the same photographic memory of the FAQ and previously
answered questions that I do :-)

I gues the frustrating part for me is that i'm not an expert, so the problems I'm having don;t seem so trivial. I only come tot he forum after revien the following two books
JBoss 4.0 The offical Guide and an older manual, JBoss 3.0 Deployment and Administration, I have reviewed the FAQ and took away what i could. I have spent countless hours googleing for the anwsers and reviewed as much of the forum as i can for the anwser. I'd rather not post and wait for a response. I find it more effiecient to look first then ask. I'm coding about 16 hours a day right now, so my pace is quite fast.

I am new to JBoss, but come with experince from WebLogic which I've been using since about 1999.

I applogize if my questions appear to that of a newby or a lazy developer, i'm anyting but. That said why do these forums exist if you don;t care to help users out? After all it is a user forum and i think some of the unanwsered questions are anything but trivial.

I hope to hear from you in some of my oter thread.

thanks for the response,
Michael

There is always paid support if you want a guarentee.

No, we don't like lazy users either... but maybe it just reminds us of our own 'dumb' questions while struggling to get started :-)
