So in three years, nobody at Netscape* has had the time to correct
this? You don't have a bridge in Brooklyn you could sell me, do you?
*It is my understanding that Netscape is/was a company intimately
involved in inter*net*working, hence the "Net" in "Netscape". I must
rhetorically wonder how much effort would be involved for such a company
to change "netscape.public.mozilla.general" to "comp.mozilla.general" or
some such ostensibly more suitable newsgroup?
