Jesus, Users do as much as they can to help, they file bugs, promote the product, give peer to peer support but you cannot ask them to be coders. The more popular Mozilla will be, the more users you will hear asking for a spell checker. Remember that if this is the nth time you answer this question, the person you answer is asking it for the first time. What would you think If your local bookseller would tell you that you are a lazy moaner or worse if you ask for a book which isn't released yet just because everybody is asking for it ? wouldn't you think that this person is rude and contempful ? pascal
