	Not everyone has these kinds of troubles with Netscape.  I'm not
saying its great, because it isn't, but neither is it "crap" software.

	I manage to trip a bug once every, say, 2 weeks.  Not good, but not
horrible either.

	To be fair to Mozilla, it is trying to do much more than what Gzilla
and Gnutella do.  Mozilla is not just a browser, it is attempting to
provide the main features found in Netscape Communicator, i.e., mail
and newsgroup support.  We disagree on what is 'bloat' obviously.  :-)
