Your missing the point, jesus. It's NOT the fact that Mozilla doesn't have a built-in spell checker that annoys me (check and you'll see that I'm using 6.2), it's the rude, sarcastic and outright inflammatory remarks that Mozilla representative make about the issue that gets my dander up. I realize it's a question that gets answered LOTS, and i can see why your sick of answering it. But -- instead of biting people's heads off and posting insulting pages to the Mozilla web site, why not just explain in the release notes, or on mozilla.org/index.html, that each of your end distributors wanted to include their own spell checker and therefore the base Mozilla suit does not have one by design. Be upfront, informative and * courteous *
