Thanks for playing anyway. IMO, it's the best reply yet. ISTM that's what the overwhelming majority of new or prospective SeaMonkey users will do, not dry to drill down to it from mozilla.org's front page. I don't think this will affect anyone other than those looking for reasons to feel slighted by the Corporation/Foundation. Would talking the people in charge of Mozilla's main portals into featuring SeaMonkey more prominently there really help the project at this point? (For the lack of capitalization on the site, a bug report would probably get it fixed. I understand this is kinda beside the point.) _______________________________________________ support-seamonkey mailing list [email protected] https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
