Well, no. Actually, you found a passage that doesn't support your assertions at all. Calling it a "reference" doesn't make it one. > Who's got reading comprehension skills?

The real questions here are: 1) Which part of "Allow the user, not the computer, to initiate and control actions" don't _you_ understand? 2) Which part of "Some applications attempt to take care of the user by offering only alternatives judged good for the user or that protect the user from having to make detailed decisions. This approach mistakenly puts the computer, not the user, in control." do _you_ think supports your assertion that "configuration choices should be made by the programmer and not by the user, software designers are the ones who should make the difficult decisions of what works and what doesn't."? T-H-X, Mr. Woodside: The audience is listening. DS _______________________________________________ Camino mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mozdev.org/mailman/listinfo/camino
