these are uncalled for ad hominem attacks on the folks who spend
their time developing mozilla, the code and the art that goes with
it, especially since it seems to be a largely democratic project
with input taken from all. it takes more than being hip or trendy
to diligently turn out an excellent free software product. rather
than call them "kiddies" etc, why not produce alternate graphics
that is to your preference and send us all a link? (perhaps you
are already involved in the mozilla project, in which case its all
the more surprising to see you discuss, not the merits/demerits of
the graphics, but the motivation of other people in the project).
