I wonder if you feel the same about other symbols ... what about NorthAmerican indians vis a vis red, white and blue? Should afroamerican feel the same way about stars and stripes? My father fought in the Korean conflict (it was never a declared war), and got 3 purple hearts medals because he was shot/injured in 3 different ocassions. Do I hate Koreans, Chinese, communists because of that? NO. Do I hate a dominan white class for assigning my dad and thousands more to cannon meat batallions. Move on and make a better future. BTW, if the desktop red star icon bother you so much, CHANGE it. KDE and GNOME (on Linux) and Windows, all allow you to change the desktop icons. And as you said, if you use Opera, what do you care? I think you are quite naive if you think people are not going to use Mozilla becaue of a silly icon on the desktop. You can use Netscape 6.2 and above as new versions are released every few months. :-) They don't use the red star symbol that offends you so much. RV
