Any resemblance to Bozo is purely physical (couldn't resist; hopefully that
didn't land me in a filter) :-)

The xml-dev list is one of the most valuable resources I have access to.
This includes both technical and ideological/philosophical discussions.
There are a lot of things that help shape our perceptions and decisions
about technologies, some that go beyond pure angle-bracket discourse. True,
some topics do go pretty far afield; when they do, I hit delete and move on.
Simple. This does not denegrate the overall value of the list.

Given a choice between xml-dev and an "xml-utterly-practical" list, I'd stay
right here for the added value.

Doug

Might I recommend filtering out messages which include "SCO" or a
variety of related words?  Filtering out people (myself likely included,
as I boringly reflect on "beauracracy at the W3C") whose attitude you
don't like?

I don't feel obligated to read every word of xml-dev, and I have a fair
number of filters. Both of these tactics reduce my blood pressure
substantially.  Okay, fine, I'm still cranky, but then I (mis?)read the
first reply I ever got here as calling me a bozo.
