Jeff: If Netscape comes out in favor of GAK, will you leave? (Wait until February, at least, of course..) You don't have to answer that to me, or the list, just think about it, and answer it for yourself. Do you think "anyone else" there would leave, as you say below that they don't want to go down history, etc...

While this would go over well in the press if handled right please let everyone remember that Jeff is a real person with bills to pay and food to put on at least his own table. Now if someone out there with their own business is willing to match his politics with his purse and offer Jeff a job at the same level if he *decides* to leave in the midst of GAK flak...

If Jeff decided to leave, I don't think he'd have much trouble getting something else - I'd be surprised if he wasn't employed the next day. Of course, if Jeff's got any stock in Netscape, he'd be nuts to leave - unless he values his principles more than he values his stock. No insult intended.
