This is why I didn't want to join this list in the first place. I only did it to get a simple answer to a simple question. I got it. Not as detailed as I would have liked, but I do respect the gentleman's time. Regardless, this has now turned into a thread about the guy who used Daniel's response to me to as an opportunity to take a jab or joke, whichever. So I don't any option but to unsubscribe from this list.
Andy
p.s. Daniel I do appreciate you taking the time to respond to my post.

Denying people information when they specifically ask for it has got nothing whatsoever to do with a sense of humor. It's just plain ignorance.

These are not "hackers rules", but rather rules that ensure that the people being willing to answer questions also have time for further libxslt development. (I also found libxslt a bit difficult to handle in the beginning, but I was willing to respect that those who are subscribed to this and/or the libml2 maling list cannot spend all their time answering questions asked by those who don't want to abide by the rules.

How can you judge people as being unpleasant without knowing them better?

I think nobody considered your question stupid. You should be able to make a distinction between a asking stupid question and not having provided relevant information (the latter applies to you).
