[<--- Some will say that it isn't > a fault]. Whose fault is it then? Surely not mine. They baught something a company sold with nice (and not incorrect) words to them, and they didn't think. In a free market, that's called "stupid" and it is considered their own fault. > Regarding what Ben Bucksch wrote (which is below, by the way), if you > are a mozilla programmer, you should be absolutely ashamed.

But I think I can estimate how many and which programmers work on Mozilla, and nobody looks very keen on doing something like that. If you are, be my guest. Implement it. I am not ashamed when somebody says "You should do X" and I answer "No, I have better things to do". > They partly are, however, Mozilla has been created not for those > individual programmers but for everyone to use and share. Well, fine, then do share and implement it. > There are many out there who have absolutely NO idea what microsoft > are like, who they are Anybody reading a newspaper should know these days that MS is convicted of being an illegal monopoly "or something like that". It is generally not a good sign for a company to be sued by a government at all. > Things just don't work like that.

How about *my* precious time? Don't you think *I* have better things to do as well? Thank you very much...
