This is old news, really. At least Martin handled it right, when he pointed this 
out. More than I can say for some, who have other reasons for making the announcement... 
LOL 

Here's another one of those IE users, who lives in a fantasy world... 
http://www.annoyances.org/exec/forum/winxp/t1145322710

It's a waste of time to hash over this IE vs. Mozilla/Firefox issue, gewg_ , as you 
well know. Btw, you forgot this article, which was brought up again recently on the 
XP forum. I wonder how many missed this news a couple yrs. ago? 
Microsoft Security Chief uses Firefox Who knows, maybe BG himself uses Firefox. 
:)

What really amazes me is the IE users who are so adamant about it all, they cling 
to Fantasies and Myths to try to convince themselves (and others), rather than looking 
at Facts. Talk about assinine.... They refuse to believe security experts and take 
a good honest look at the situation as it really is. That includes the Fact that 
the Gazillion's of Hijacking victims flooding the forums, are IE users. 

There are some regulars on these forums who just like IE, haven't had any problems 
and don't want to switch, even though they're fully aware of the security risks. 
That I can see, but to believe and spread all those twisted truths, is irresponsible!

Firefox Myths Debunked

To those of you who are misleading unknowing users into thinking IE is safer or 
just as safe as Firefox, etc. I suggest you sign-up for one of the many Classrooms 
on a Security forum and learn to be a helper. That way, you can be of service to 
others and help clean up Internet Explorer user's systems of these advanced malware 
infections. You do want to help, right??

Once their systems are cleaned up, PLEASE don't even suggest switching to a safer 
browser! After all, we must remain loyal to M$ in every way, shape and forum. And, 
we sure wouldn't want to contribute to the Anti-spyware/virus vendors going out of 
business.
