	Note to self - Dont piss Greg off :)

	Tis ok Greg, I knew what Mark meant 

	I also know what Colin means, but somewhere some wires have been
crossed.

	Anyhoo, who gives? 

	:)

	Second note to self - for fun one day, make an incorrect sweeping
statement about something Colin knows about, and stand back :)

	*OUCH* You really should read what people write before running off
at them
	like that. Now you look very, very silly indeed.

	The original post said this near the beginning:
	"What i would suggest is treat XML as just another presentation
method"

	The parenthesised text that you quoted was a later reminder of this
stated
	assumption, not a statement of general fact.

	"If you treat XML as just another presentation method, XML is just
another
	presentation format." is a very different statement to "XML is just
	another presentation format" - if you don't see the difference, you
call
	your own intellect into question, but I'm giving you the benefit of
the
	doubt and assuming you just didn't read the whole message before
flaiming.

	Please don't do it again.

	-Greg
