Aww C'mon, I was just trying to have a little fun with ya. I knew you'd take the 
bait. I sincerely hope anyone reading over my shoulder got a little laugh out of 
what they read. That was it's purpose. If not, too bad. I did.

I think Mozilla has broad enough shoulders to handle it. Nothing is being said that 
isn't true, maybe out of context, but still true.
 
Wish I could say the same for the venom being directed at IE. For all it's faults, 
IE seems to be adequate for my needs and abilities. Obviously a number of other people 
agree.

I don't expect that to be true for everyone and I leave that choice to the other 
person, without rancor. Unlike any number of Mozilla suporters whose best, and only 
advice, for IE problems is Mozilla. Only time will tell.





On Mozilla's side, they do seem to announce their weaknesses and come up with patches 
quicker. This is good, the way it ought to be. However, the fact that they have to 
come up with security patches at all indicates inherent weaknesses, just like IE. 

Kudo's to Mozilla for better customer support. Nothing wrong with that (for Mozilla 
users); means little when running IE.

I havn't listened to much coming from Govrnment, or it's agents, since the 70's. 
They very seldom know what they are talking about or how to present an unbiased opinion 
on anything. If IE was really all that bad no one would be using it. It's Not like 
there are no CHOICES.

See ya',

Bob
