You're probably right. Everyone has a different idea about 
terminology. Wasn't there a time when preliminary versions were called
something like "Mozillaxxxxrc1"? Some other programs have 
"ProgramNamePrev1". usually names like Mozilla11b indicate fixed 
versions after an intolerable bug is detected.

There are a lot of different drummers to get used to marching to.

Please replace "SPAM-FOILER" with "sgoodman".

200 years of European fecklessness in the face of Arab terror: Tripoli
Pirates (1814); OPEC Oil (1973); Saddam Hussein and Yasser Arafat 
(1990 et seq.) -- but actually financing it is a 21st-century European
wrinkle.
