Just understand that the gurus here have been answering these same questions for 2.5 years now and they have very little patience when the same questions are asked every day. It is also particularly frustrating when "bad" or incomplete advice is given by newbies and lurkers who apparently miss the weekly, sometimes daily "good" & proper answers to people's questions. We could all stand to be a little more patient with the newbies. Jeni T. probably sets the best example for us, going to extraordinary lengths to educate the newbies, even when she's said it all before time & again. It might also do us all, especially first-time posters, some good to get into the habit of asking & answering questions with some humility. For example, if you're a newbie, then rather than posting a disable-output-escaping code snippet as gospel, you might have said "I found that this method achieved the results I wanted. It may not be the only way or the best way to go about it, so please let me know if it is for some reason not recommended." This is just a suggestion to help diminish the misperceptions and frustration among the more experienced listmembers, so don't take it as me telling you how to post. It's just an idea to help keep tempers from flaring and egos from bruising. - Mike ____________________________________________________________________________ mike j. brown, fourthought.com | xml/xslt: http://skew.org/xml/ denver/boulder, colorado, usa | personal: http://hyperreal.org/~mike/ XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
