That would be pointless, as any answer you give was given because that 
is the answer that AOL/Netscape/Maozilla Politburo/government conspiracy 
group with space aliens/and reincarnation of Jesus Christ wanted you to 
have.  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).
