Who says it wasn't considered? There are a lot of things we could have done with Mozilla. We could have added a word processor, too, but we chose not to. If you feel that Mozilla is severely lacking becasue we chose not to provide an easy method for non-C-programmers to access a particular C-level API, while you're entitled to your opinion, you are probably in the minority.I was trustful that people actually think about such things like "Does it make sense to offer third party apps easy access to the data without forcing them to use our libs". I didn't know that things like this are never considered right from the start.
The bottom line is, if you want help with your project, you are going about it in exactly the wrong way. No one who works on Mozilla is under any obligation to answer your questions. We make an effort to answer questions when people are polite, but nobody pays us to do it. Calling Mozilla engineers names and refusing to post in the correct newsgroup are not good ways to receive assistance. A little courtesy goes a long way.
