Com'on ... Who on earth would use "Empowering You" as his mail name
except a troll or spam like PR agency. Seems to me Just So Obvious
what is their job and who they work for. Just think about the long term
traces in the list archives and so on. XML-DEV is an especially obvious
target to anybody who would like to advertize on XML, the way it's done
is more or less subtle depending who and when.
Ignore them, you cannot expect a concrete discussion to happen,
or since there is a -DEV on the list, ask them to come with
(free and unencombered) code to back up their arguments >:->
