I don't get offended or anything by seeing my name misspelled, I just found it slightly annoying, so I pointed out to you that there is a difference between "ø" and "o" in Danish. You can call me Jónäs Jorgêñsèn from now on if you want, I really don't care. But it only took me *a few seconds* to point out that you misspelled my name, and you waste *a lot* more time than that every day by downloading new nightly builds and whining about Mozilla's broken cache. And since you don't even give a fuck about Mozilla anyway, I can't really take it seriously when you say "I have much more important things to worry about". Not that I usually take things you say seriously. > But now riddle me this out of curiosity: why is it no slash in Jonas Ø and O is two completely different letters. I might as well ask you why your name is Gary and not Gory. -- /Jonas
