I dont argue with this statement. All I am saying is, that blaming IE or blaming TB! DOES make a difference... Short (but true) story from the 60's Hungary: a prisoner (X) was suffering from the brutal warden (Y). He said, he will pay back... So, time came, he (X) was freed. Next time he was caught, the detectives found a mail "from the warden" saying that "we will celebrate the 10th anniversary of the 1956 revolution, prepare". Even mentioning the '56 revolution would have been a big deal... Celebrating? Wow... So, the detectives went for the warden, questioned him. Of course, they found out after a while, it was a big, fat lie, just X made up the story. So, he got some time in an other prison... When the writer (a famous Hungarian writer wrote this documentary book where this story is from) asked me: was it worth it? X said: "Definitely. You know, now everybody knows the truth... But in 2-3 years, people will just remember, that the warden had some unfortunate connection with the '56 revolution... He wont get any promotion, believe me..." So, the same apply for TB! opening spammer images. -- Vili ________________________________________________________ Current beta is 3.61.13 (Echo) | 'Using TBBETA' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html IMPORTANT: To register as a Beta tester, use this link first - http://www.ritlabs.com/en/partners/testers/
