Again I think you are being far too unfair, Paul.

Wrong ... Tony (the moderator) reports the loop only started happening on the morning of yesterday (Saturday) and Tony has spent time on his weekend to fix it for us.

XSL-list archive is also broken since the
summer ( and nobody bothers to fix it ).

This is a thankless attitude ... Tony works hard on this list and I very much appreciate his involvement. To complain that he hasn't taken time from his weekend to fix the problem is ungracious and unfair. He keeps on top of the problems and is quick to respond when they happen.

If nobody cares about supporting XSL
mailing list, maybe placing the list on
e-groups is not a bad idea ?

Or maybe I'm missing something
and XML community gets some special
joy with broken XML-list, broken XSL-list
e t.c. ?

Rgds.Paul.

Or maybe, Paul, this list could do with less complaining such as quoted from you above. It seems to me your negative attitude is not echoed by any other participant and I get this impression because I hear your negative attitude very often about many things.

I very much applaud Tony's efforts on this list and the DSSSL list, and his freely available resources, editing environments, quick reference sheets, etc. etc. etc. Thank you Tony for your work and for helping to fix things during the weekend. Your valuable contributions to this community are very much appreciated by some of us.
