Netscape pays some of the people that are members of [EMAIL PROTECTED] 
Other members of staff are not paid by Netscape. Netscape can lay people 
off (eliminate their position) from employment at 
AOL/time-Warner/Netscape but it cannot remove people from 
[EMAIL PROTECTED] It would hardly make sense for Netscape to try to 
fire someone they didn't employ.
