a) Stephen Donner never identified himself as a Netscape employee. No matter what his userid is, people are not mind-readers.
b) I found this newsgroup because it has the word "PUBLIC" contained in it. I did NOT get here by looking for a developer group.
c) N6.1 throws LOTS of unannounced curveballs -- the most offensive of which is moving the mail and news to the C: drive. This should have been an install option -- let ME decide which drive the "converted" data should be moved to -- or at least, just make a backup in its own directory, warn me at install time, and let me backout to my previous version of Netscape if I want. Quicken offers this.
d) While N6.1 IS the best release so far of all the 6.x releases (believe me, I am a Netscape diehard), it was pushed out the door with very little detailed documentation. While I am trying to find where all the various options and prefs are, meanwhile, I am downloading mail and news, and I do not have the luxury of any time-tolerant learning curve.
It takes a long time to undo mistreating a User. If you don't know how to handle a User, perhaps you're in the wrong line of work.

* It was a Netscape user who asked

* <http://help.netscape.com> is the official Netspape help resource.
Netscape can mention the support newsgroups at these pages or not do so. That's it's own thing.
I am glad that Stephen redirected the user out of this group, instead of answering user questions here.
Also, since Stephen Donner spoke as Netscape employee, please don't attack him personally for following the company guidelines.
