He repeatedly went on and on and on about Mozilla's "Broken cache", despite me telling him at least 3 times to clear his cache in preferences. He did not. He was unable to reproduce the bug in a new profile (because he never tried). He would not cooperate with pinning down the problem (which, after one other person said they saw the same thing and it was cleared by simply clearing the cache), and he refused to acknowledge the fact it could have been a hiccup on his system that loused up *his* cache folder. I see no reason to provide him any reasonable answer. If Mozilla was embedded in a toaster, and he posted "Mozilla doesn't toast my bread", and someone asked him "Did you hit the toast button" he'd go on and on that the toast button is too slow and inefficient (without providing any numbers showing any other way is faster) and blame the company who made the LCD screen for the toaster for everything. He is a troll. A troll that refuses to go away. His new thing is how he single handedly got the context menu in the plain text editor fixed. Not the guy who was working on it, or his company paying him money to fix it, JTK got it fixed. I imagine he also thinks he is the reason the traffic light turns green, and the reason that the sun rises every morning. I understand that you are entitled to your opinion that he is not delusional, and I agree, partly. I feel he thinks his role here is not that of an annoying troll just badmouthing anything and everything, but as some sort of major bigshot that gets stuff done. If he wants to do that, fine. I realize ignoring him would probably at least cut down on his posts, but I feel if he were to post a message like "The cache is completely broken and the browser sucks because the UI is written in a markup language", and no one answered him, anyone passing by would think that was the truth. So any time he posts something with no proof, no reproducability, and just to badmouth the project, I intend to reply either asking for more information or telling him the solution (in his most recent cases, clearing his cache would have solved the problem in under 10 seconds). -- ICQ: N/A (temporarily) AIM: FlyersR1 9 email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] _ = m
