That sounds about right.

Welcome to the list!  *LOTS* of *GREAT* people here.  I know them well, as
they do me.

Well, I'm not so sure about the "new" part, but it is pretty exciting,
huh?!  I'm glad to see you are passionate about it.  A lot of folks feel
the same way.  In fact, so much so that they like to gather together and
meet in various places across the world from time-to-time to discuss
things like XSLT in person.  One of those events, in fact, is coming up
here shortly: The eXtreme XML Conference.  The purpose of setting up the
.NET Dynamic Languages list on Facebook, which has quickly become the
defacto "... social utility that connects you with the people around you",
was to act in the capacity of allowing those interested in keeping in sync
with the various user groups, conferences, etc. that relate to dynamic
languages (e.g. XSLT) on the .NET platform.  Announcements such as this
are quite regular on this list.  In fact, if you were to start a local
XSLT user group in your area, this would be a good place to make the
announcement of its availability.  You know, so people with interest in
dynamic languages such as XSLT would know about it and possibly join.

No, I do that at night between the hours of 6pm and 8pm when everybody is
home.  It's easier to annoy them that way.  During the day I try to spend
my time annoying people such as yourself by sending completely relevant
posts that relate to keeping people better connected with the rest of the
dynamic language interest groups of the world.

Enjoy your day!
