you guys are missing the point--Nescape has developed an attitude problem
of the highest magnitude: it has decided to foist its bug-ridden,
crash-prone software off on us and have US do the beta-testing FOR them.
What do you think the little "bugs" contest is all about, simple
generosity on Netscape's part? This is really sheer arrogance, though I
suppose the board of directors at Netscape would call it "efficency."

I don't care if they are giving it away free-they are milking us for the
answers to problems thet are too lazy (defintiely not too poor!) to
solve...
