Thanks for the tips Ralph!

netscape.public.mozilla.browser,alt.fan.mozilla
alt.netscape,netscape.public.general,

Yer right I'm not crazy about the idea that
it's all now "company town." Another one bytes the dust.
I'da never figured Moz would be the one, they always
seemed like the pioneers for freedom and against
The Establishment's monopolies of thought and mortar.

So what the netiquette? Can I presume that people
disatisfied had damned well better watch their
honest feelings, it's sorta a luvy-dovey love fest?
[Respectful dissent is permited, we are so lucky.]
I can think of no other reason they'd do this...control.

I'll give it a looksee. If they demand an ID,
they can kiss my rosey red one.
"I never left them, they left me," comes to mind.
And: "You will be assimilated, try the Prozac, punk."

....anyway, thanks again, wish I was happier.
