Agreed!  :)

I don’t think you offended anyone, and you happen to prefer XQuery to XSLT.  It’s not the first time that a developer has a favorite tool—and the mailing list managed to discuss it without getting into a "holy war”! :)

What you have done is participate in a community.  That’s all.  

If you feel guilty for having an idea that is not shared by everyone else, then try and find an example of a community where every member thinks exactly the same.  

(Okay, let me limit that last statement to HUMAN communities.  Maybe ants and such can get away with it. :)

Gotta go, late to campus…arrgh!…
