A second opinion, please

Hi all. I need a sanity check of a particular question: http://www.javablackbelt.com/QuestionDetail.wwa?qidk=10460.

Reasonably often, I see questions like this which are merely statements copied from some online text, such as a Sun FAQ or product document. I think this is an extremely poor way to create a question and borders on plagiarism. My instinct is to delete the question.

Comments?

(see http://java.sun.com/products/jms/faq.html for the origin of the statements made in the question)

Re: A second opinion, please

I think reusing the words from the FAQ is nothing bad if the question is clear and coherent. However in this case it's kinda hard to understand the question and get the right answer. I think the author should put more effort into it.

Fair enough, and thanks for your comments. I've "restructured" the question.

Re: A second opinion, please

I stumbled accidently across your question and have two proposals:
1. Change the logic of item b and d. You will surely want to test know-how and not proper reading so remove the negations.
2. Change the character count in item e to 65536 or something; a limit of 10000 sound not plausible.
