Ok, then I choose to contribute, by pointing out obvious design flaws,
and possible ways in which they can be rectified. I also choose to not
mince words, but tell it like it is, which may make the more sensitive
religious types uncomfortable. And finally, I also choose to not
presume to implore others to leave, regardless of what nerves the truth
hits.

Because I feel it is my responsibility. Do you think doctors "like it
here" when they're checking somebody for prostrate cancer, or elbow-deep
in blood during surgery, or when all else fails, pulling the proverbial
plug? Yet I have to assume that you would not be so presumptuous as to
ask them "why stay?".

Not above you weren't. You were speaking *for* the Group, the Body, the
People's Republic of Mozilla.

What you think in that wise is irrelevant. You are not an "elected
official" here, are you? You haven't been appointed by Netscape to
police these newsgroups for anti-Party activities and speak for the
Party, have you? So I think *I'm* in the majority when I say that you
have no authority to speak for anyone but yourself when you claim that
"we're encouraging you" to not participate in this newsgroup.

You should look up one in particular, one that's been posted here in
fact: nobody's using Netscape 6 or Mozilla. After three years. Then
ask yourself "why?".
