I wasn't intending to ignite a firestorm on the list, especially on a topic that is at this point only marginally crypto-related. I bear Netscape and its staff no ill will--they have done some wonderful stuff, and I'd be more than happy to compete with them however the market ends up. I am irritated by some of how they've gone about things, but this is as much cultural as anything else--the market will decide in the end, whatever they or anyone else do. If I have offended anyone on the list or at Netscape, I'm completely willing to continue the discussion in email, comp.infosystems.www, or wherever else, but I'm going to stop sending my replies to cypherpunks at this point unless they actually have to do with cryptography or WWW security per se. Vendors do take potshots at each other from time to time; I'm sorry that I indulged myself and did so on this list instead of in a more appropriate manner.
