How can "they" believe that Mozilla equals NS 6 unless the browser,
Mozilla 0.9.3, identifies itself as such? Could it be that there are
filters applied on these servers where an equal sign is set between
Netscape and Mozilla, blocking certain "offspring" browser versions,
which apparently also affects "the original"?
If so, I'm in favour of the idea as suggested earlier, changing the
Mozilla version directly to 6.x or similar to avoid the problem.
An other solution would be that Mozilla took the time and resources to
inform these sites that Mozilla has no connections with NS versions why
their blocking of Mozilla, starting from 0.9.x onwards, are unjustified.
Unrealistic solution, isn't it?
