OK.

Remember that in a large developer community like this, there are many
areas of knowledge. I know for a fact that many developers know
little about JMX (for example). The same is true of any number of
technologies. So remember that emails can too easily descend into
area-of-expertise talk which leaves the majority of developers out of
the loop.
