That's what I was afraid of. So, Mozilla is never gonna be 100% perfect, then. <sigh>. <blockquote cite="http://mozilla.org/mission.html> Of course, anyone anywhere in the world can make their own source distributions: we aren't unique in that respect. And that's another way that the system is self-regulating: if the public believes that we are making bad decisions about what to include and what not to include, about whose work to use and whose not to, or anything of that nature, then the public will vote with their collective feet: they will get their source distributions from someone other than mozilla.org, and we will have become irrelevant. </blockquote> I won't say it. You all know what I'm thinking, but I... won't... say... it... :�-(. -- /Jonas
