Must be something in the stars. But then I'm a Virgo, so I'm too sceptical to believe in astrology... ;-) But seriously I think since I subscibed to this list earlier this year it has gone through various phases, sometimes highly technical, often quite specific in some subset area of XML, sometimes dealing with basics, sometimes getting philosophical, and more recently it seems, highly political. Personnally I find this to be a sign of the lists strength of character and the rounded outlook of the lists community spirit. Yes I said 'community'. By this I don't mean every is necissarilly cosy with everyone else, every community I have ever been in has had its rivalry's, competiveness and opposing points of view. I don't think it helps to try and deny this, or attempt to be 'above' it in some kind of transcendalist way. To do so would be to diminish the richness of the full human experience not enhance it.
