I'm with Craig on this one. It's everyone's role to point out
situations where posts would be better served by posting to other
lists. I think this was a helpful suggestion. I think the response to
that was unjustifiably aggressive in stance.

I'm not as concerned about JD's lack of knowledge in some areas- yes
it is generally annoying noise before the correct answer, but his
heart is in the right place for trying to provide assistance and one
would hope that as he learns the subject matter, his post
quality/quantity ratio will approve.
