No, he's not. I lose count of the number of posts in newsgroups/bugs in bugzilla/whatever that regurgitate the line "unless you fix [insert personal hobbyhorse here] *RIGHT NOW* mozilla will never gain any market share" Putting that kind of thing in your post/bug/whatever is not going to advance your case. It's old. It's tired. In all but a very few cases, it lacks any logical basis whatsoever. If you want to say "until you fix this, I won't use mozilla", fair enough. That's your choice to make, and you're free to tell the world you're making it. Some people might agree with you. But sweeping generalisations, on the basis of no research whatsoever, phrased as blackmail, to "add weight" to a personal obsession, will not make people pay any more attention to you. </rant> -- gav
