Ignoring the fact that your XSL appears to do the same thing if the
Category matches and if it doesn't match, this appears to be a simple
case of applying the appropriate XPath to filter out nodes which match
the alumniID parameter (which you would pass to the XSLT in the same
way as the other parameters).
Here's the relevant part of the (modified) XSLT :
---
<xsl:when test="$myXSLcategory='f' ">
<xsl:variable name="numProfiles" select="alumniProfiles/profi...@id !
= $alumniID]" />
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="count($numProfiles) = 0">
<xsl:call-template name="NoResults" />
</xsl:when>
<xsl:otherwise>
<xsl:for-each select="$numProfiles">
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="function = $myXSLmatchme">
<li>
<a>
<xsl:attribute name="href">
<xsl:value-of select="link"/>?ref=f
</xsl:attribute>
<xsl:value-of select="careerTopics/topic/title"/>
<strong>
  - 
<xsl:value-of select="firstName"/>
 
<xsl:value-of select="lastName"/>
</strong>
</a>
</li>
<br />
</xsl:when>
</xsl:choose>
</xsl:for-each>
</xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>
</xsl:when>
<xsl:otherwise>
...
...
</xsl:otherwise>
...
...
<xsl:template name="NoResults">
<p>
Sorry, No other related links at this time.
</p>
</xsl:template>
---
Hope this helps !
