David owns and pays for the site, he maintains it, he invests his own time
freely for it, jeez ...... maybe u ever learned anything from his site....
if so please stop whining, or would u like the site hosted by a large
corporate concern, so it looks *gasp* pretty and does 4th generation stupid
web tricks.

ok webmonkey why dont you stop criticizing and lend a hand, or maybe you
want to try and host your own rival XSLT faq.... go on i dare you to spend
most of your professional life not getting paid....basically thats what
happens when you maintain a FAQ.

> For me this is an example how a valuable WEB resource should not be

valuable because of David.

no offense mate, but i would suggest you obtain a job or a wife ( or
children if you already have these 2  ), whereby you would not have to worry
about these minor mortal issues.

no honestly, i see your point, and i would even recc your comments if you
paid for it, but you haven't........so kinda please take it off this list
and direct your constructive comments to David.
