Re: [xsl] 'nother xslt2 engine

["M. David Peterson" <m.david.x2x2x@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hey David... Yeah, I noticed that portion of the attempted spin and
started to include it in the reply I had been writing to Michael...
but I decided that if Dr. Kay could find a way to make things look
positive then I had best do the same and just quietly leave that one
alone... but I have found myself several times throughout the night
bursting out in uncontrollable laughter thinking about how well Dr.
Kay took what could have turned ugly (well, uglier... I think ugly was
a distant cousin of what was finally left after I was done with it ;)
really fast, quashed it, and walked away with a smile :)  It killed me
then and its still killing me to think about it... :)

Anyway, as I am sure is a real shocker my reply back to Dr. Kays
response began to take on a word count beyond what I new he would be
willing to tolerate so I decided to finally do what I have been
planning to do for the last who knows how long... Put it all up on
"xsltblog.com" and then quickly summarize and point people there if
they care to read the War and Peace version...  So that is what I am
doing right now... hopefully I'll have it up before too long...

I'll ping you when it is...

Cheers! :)  (and thanks for the laugh Dr. Kay... it was fantastic to
see the "Dr. Cool Under Fire" side of you -- your quite good at it! :)
