Thank you Tony (was: XSL-list doomed)

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.

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.

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.

.................. Ken
