(and i have my doubts especially since its supposedly been attempted for monthes and monthes now). what i really don't want to see happen, and im sure i will if this misguided venture goes forward is we will get our crippled mozilla in main, nothing in non-US and another six monthes of `yes yes psm modules in non-US are coming RSN(TM) just wait a few more yea^H^H^Hmon^H^H^Hweeks................. cynical? perhaps but then look at the current version of mozilla in main, but its in main and not awful ghetto non-US so we can live with it!. </sarcasm> -- Ethan Benson http://www.alaska.net/~erbenson/
