You say that and yet... APIs and XML-RPC are essentially the same thing. But APIs don't make me wake up in the middle of the night in a cold sweat.

You... You shut your whore mouth. We don't talk about xml here

Go wash your mouth with some SOAP.

In all these replies, this one actually made me wince in pain. I guess I had cleared the term AJAX from my memories.

Yo dawg, I heard you like HTTP and XML, so I put XML in your HTTP in your XML over HTTP.

We could form a support group. Maybe the least healthy support group in history, but a support gro up.

Oh, sorry. I created a misunderstanding it seems. I was referring to actual soap, not SOAP. I can still hear dad telling me to go wash my mouth with soap.

Yeah. I consider it important to maintain a healthy agnosticism about the possibility of heaven. It's dangerous to wait to start living as the person I want to be!

But on the topic of hell - well, I've needed to make two computers talk to eachother using the XML specification. I know that hell is very real.
