Hello All: That posting yesterday was supposed to be a personal chiding for Simon's eyes only. To make matters worse, my ISP was having trouble yesterday with its mail server, and I had no knowlege of it posting to the public list until about a half hour ago, when my ISP decided to tell me about the problem and send me the rest of yesterday's mail. To make matters worse, the posting I meant to send to the list doesn't seem to have ever posted. That's why i sent that test message afterwards -- to confirm that my mail server and/or xml-dev was having problems since my response didn't post. I would never have intentionally posted such a haphazard emotional response, complete with what could be interpreted out of context as a personal attack (referring to Simon's "paranoid delusions"). However, I would like to point out that there was no name calling! (I don't call people names even in personal mailings :-) Regardless of the technical difficulties that followed, it was still a careless action on my part to make the first response public. I have already apologized to Simon personally, and I'd like to apologize now to everyone on this list.
