This is not a flame, so turn down the sensitive meter... It seems you want
to be contributing to the mozilla (for whatever reason), and indeed you have
with the 1.0 requirement (not that I agree with it, but its not my call)
But please from now on don't bash aol, mozilla, or its current state,
especially when you replying to post about a problem a person is having. It
does not add anything to your creditability.
Making suggestions shouldnt be based on abuse, maybe you trying to get a
"we'll show you!" from mozilla developer. But that thinking will only last
for a few minute before "whats this JTK guy trying to pull here?" and back
to what they were doing forgeting your suggestion.
A "real" suggestion will make the developers think/listen and if enough
thinking go into it, it might get it done. When one saw your post (even if
its a serious one). they not going to take it as seriously as post from Ian,
Gerv, D.Hyatt
Compliment the developers, especially in a public newsgroup. You might read
somewhere B.Gates abuse its executive in meetings for not meeting deadlines.
But you not B.Gates nor mozilla equivalent, and newsgroup is definately not
a closed meeting...
