I agree with you concerning the web browser RITLabs is planning. There
are three very good browsers out there, NS, IE, and Opera, (granted they
all have their ups and downs) and I think the only way RIT can come
close to competing with them is to devote 100% of their resources to it.
That would mean abandoning TB, and nobody wants that.
Usenet, on the other hand...Well, I know none of the technical aspects
of Usenet, but I've seen that MS Outlook smoothly integrates news and
mail into one client. I've always liked Outlook for that, although
that's the only thing. :) So, it seems to me that usenet shouldn't be
too much to add to TB. And if TB v2.0 has usenet in plugin form, then of
course you can just unload the plugin if you wish!

Let's not assume to know what they meant without any specifics. A quote
comes to mind, but I can't supply a source: "From quick assumptions we
draw absurd conclusions." :)

Well, you're right on that point. I can see how you would be concerned.
Let's just hope that TB v2.0 meets everyone's standards, preferably
exceed them.
