The same thing that those opposed to the Communist graphics can do. The same thing those who know that interpreting your apps UI from ASCII text is insane can do. Suck it down. Aaron, I don't know how long you've been around here, but if there's anything about this project that is clear, it is this: AOL calls the shots, and that's it. It's been stated that this favicon feature/BS was put in "at the request of some paying client". Now whoever's paying money for Mozilla needs to be hospitalized for mental incompetence, but the point is pay beats petition every time in the corporate world. And don't let yourself be fooled for a second: Mozilla is the corporate world. Possibly the worst-ever corporate world in the history of corporations, but corporate none the less. Just ask AOL/TW Corporate. Ask them why these newsgroups still say "netscape." on them. And keep in mind that many of us opposed to the commie graphics have submitted completely acceptable alternatives, many in fact far better looking and professional than the current ones even disregarding the commie crap. But AOL has different goals, and AOL calls the shots.
