Hi, guys...I'm sorry if I over reacted to this post. A few weeks ago, I
posted a message about XML training, something to the effect of "XML
chicken or egg", asking for opinions on how I should approach learning
XML, and ended up with 3 different XML training vendors using my inquiry
as an excuse to send me, so far, 8 emails to sell me XML training
services.
I saw this as a different type of attempt to use this list to solicit
sales leads.

Hey John, relax. If anyone receives unsolicited spam from them, just
give Geoff and I a quick e-mail. We can go and express our indignation
face-to-face. We're both in Montreal too.
