Do you get the feeling you're wasting your time with this guy? I think this
thread accounts for about 20 minutes of your life that you will never get
back. He gives you not even an acknowledgement, and then says 'OH I FOUND THE 
ANSWER: <xsl:apply-templates select="BLOCK"/>'

*smacks forehead*

I have my charitable days where I educate a dozen newbies, but half the time I
end up deleting my email before I finish it, thinking "Why am I wasting my
time with this person.."

Guess I'm becoming cranky in my old age.
