No, not _that_ original, he's talking about _his_ original. >>> Yours is presumably a derivative of this? >> >> It's not a derivative since I started from scratch.

James filed a bug saying that a document was needed, and wrote an original document from scratch (either unaware that the doc on the site existed, or just wanting to write something with a different focus for a different purpose) - let's call that A. Daniel noted that a somewhat similar document existed on the site already, which is the original you're thinking of - let's call that B. The document that started this thread is something that Daniel derived by taking the web original (B) and incorporating elements from James' original (A), to come up with C. You questioned the need for changing B into C. James is talking about what motivated him to write A initially, before Daniel mixed A and B together to come up with C (which wasn't James' original intent). -- Michael _______________________________________________ mozilla-documentation mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.mozilla.org/listinfo/mozilla-documentation
