but it's not false. Your choice to not believe it does not make it false. It
merely makes you wrong. If Netscape decided to start adding <blink> at the
beginning of every page so the whole damned screen blinked like an epileptic-fit
inducing cartoon, so be it, it'd have zero impact on what direction Mozilla went
in. If NEtscape decided to call their Browser BorkBorkScape and render all pages
in mock-swedish, so be it as well. Mozilla would keep on trucking in it's
current direction.

No. If Netscape had NOTHING, in ANY SENSE, to do with Mozilla, then the relation
could be comparable to the relationship between Mozilla and Dairy Queen. But,
Netscape takes a snapshot of the Mozilla source, makes their own changes,
bundles it up, and hawks it as NS6.x. Now, when Netscape decides to do this, it
does not mean that Mozilla does anything. Netscape is a USER of Mozilla, but
they do not control what Mozilla does, any more than Dairy Queen makes you buy
that double chocolate dipped ice cream cone. They make ice cream, you decide if
you want it double chocolate dipped or maybe you want butterscotch and
strawberries.
Mozilla makes it, Netscape uses it.

Is this really necessary? Or are you finding the truth closing in, and the only
way to struggle for air is to misdirect our attention with petty verbal
barbarism?
