Contacts with Web site owners regarding these bugs should indeed be noted in the bug reports. I know that I place comments in the bug reports I submit about such contacts that I make. I also occasionally review all of my Tech Evangelism bug reports to see if any can be closed. All this may be obviated by the fact that the default in SeaMonkey 2.1 will be to spoof Firefox. Of course, that will hide the fact that SeaMonkey is in use and lead Web developers to ignore SeaMonkey. -- David E. Ross <http://www.rossde.com/> On occasion, I might filter and ignore all newsgroup messages posted through GoogleGroups via Google's G2/1.0 user agent because of spam from that source. _______________________________________________ support-seamonkey mailing list [email protected] https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
