That's a great offer. Thanks.
However, the greatest benefit of using this particular list is the fact that
we already have an extensive mailing list archive on Java porting issues.
This will probably reduce traffic and enable us to even better combine
knowledge.

You got it.
This way Sun does not have to give out special licenses to what they
perceive to be splintergroups. Their whole attitude is one of a desperate

I think we should keep that in mind when dealing with Sun.

are a distraction which demand attention, and
it's not as good as cinema because the pictures
are not nearly as good.
