I'm going to make the unlikely assumption that your posting was of good intent - that you surely recognized that the initial post was a plea to the seamonkey community to restore what I believe is an important part of the original Netscape heritage. That my followup plainly said I belied that the lack of form manger in 2.x was a reflection of the lack of understanding as how important it was to many users- not an intentional slight. I don't believe anything I posted was "shooting blanks", unless someone's touchy-feeling mode is on way high. I know this is Usenet where the small can be heard with as much volume as the small minded, I plea guilty to being the first and try not to practice the latter.If you don't value form manger, well that's your view, I was merely trying to keep the issue visible here, hoping that those who are considering abandoning SM well at least know that are others who still have hope.
