Can I impose on you to elaborate? comp.lang.java.announce is gone

<http://groups.google.com/group/news.announce.newgroups/browse_frm/thread/cc5034391edb987e>

and I can't find the usual signs of link-spaminess:

<http://yro.slashdot.org/story/10/04/25/0345220/>

I like svn, to which WANdisco appears to have contributed:

<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WANdisco>

I didn't know svn was now Apache Subversion:

<http://subversion.apache.org/>

Can anyone comment on WANdisco's certified/enterprise products?

Thanks for clarifying. I don't mean to defend spam, only to asses its
relative enormity. I try to ignore most of it, but I wouldn't mind
welcoming legitimate vendor representatives. I've seen a few helpful
answers from the occasional Oracle employee in c.l.j.databases.

Arne raises a similar, compelling point. My perspective is somewhat
skewed: I returned to Java about the same time I adopted Subversion in
earnest, so I solipsistically see such messages as less intrusive.
