If you had read beyond the first paragraph, you'd note that Michael attempted to answer the person's question, after reminding him of *basic* list etiquette that would help in getting questions answered more quickly. We *all* have a lot going on, and the fact that some folks take the time that they do to help others with XSL questions (unpaid, mind you!) negates your assertion that they are arrogant and unhelpful. What no one has time for, however, is hand-holding. All they ask is that we follow simple rules regarding subject lines, phrasing of questions, inclusion of sample XML/XSL, etc. so that questions can be answered as quickly and efficiently as possible. If this forum was only for newbies, as you imply, then there'd be no "oldbies" around to help. I guarantee you--blathering about how unhelpful the "gurus" are, will *not* motivate anyone to be more helpful in the future. If you want consideration for *your* time, then you need to be considerate of theirs. hth, b. | brian martinez brian.martinez@xxxxxxxxxxx | | lead gui programmer 303.357.3548 | | cheap tickets, part of trip network fax 303.357.3380 | | 6560 greenwood plaza blvd., suite 400 englewood, co 80111 | | cendant travel distribution services http://www.cheaptickets.com/ | XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
