The message for Netscape was very clear, the development community refused to write for it they had started a precedence that could not be forgotten. I say communities will not forget this act and remove the browser from their systems rather than be forced into an update for security reasons.
Honestly, rarely do any of my customers use FF, and their reasons are justified in their mind, so I do not argue the point. This is another reason for security personnel, to credit their policies in denying FF on their network the same as they did with Netscape. Richard L.

That pattern of behaviour sounds exactly like Netscape all those years ago. -- Richard Quadling Twitter : EE : Zend : PHPDoc @RQuadling : e-e.com/M_248814.html : bit.ly/9O8vFY : bit.ly/lFnVea -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
