Yeah, I think you should go on using scepticism and harsh criticism as the main intellectual tools to - in fact - make Mozilla the best browser available. Some of the folks in this news group don't seem to understand that it is only by severe scrutinizing that you can improve things. They think that uttering a negative word about Mozilla is like peeing at the Holy Bible. -- /P.M.
