I submitted bug #738948, requesting a user option to use the
user-specified background color. It was closed as WontFix without any
explaination of why that would be a bad idea. I reopened the bug report
to request such an explanation. I don't know how long it will remain
open. See<https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=738948>.
In the comp.infosystems.www.authoring.html newsgroup, we are frequently
reminded that Web pages should not attempt to override how users have
configured their browsers. Here, however, we have a case where someone
decided to have the browser override how users configure their browsers.
This is just plain wrong. Can a Mozilla develeoper please explain why
that is not wrong?
And, David, the bug was again Resolved Wontfix about 20 min after you
re-opened it.
It would seem that someone feels that they can't defend the lack of
choice *OR* explain why can't/shouldn't be fixed, so they just keep
pretending the issue doesn't exist.
Bill, that is borderline on a personal attack. If you have question
about a change, just ask. Take the time to investigate a change before
making any judgment, and most certainly before judging the attitude of
individual developers.
