Hello Jack Morrison, on Sat, 6 Mar 2004 20:36:07 -0600 (2004-03-07 03:36:07 in .nl) in the message with reference <mid:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> you [JM] wrote (at least in part):
JM> I also use my car mainly to get me from point A to point B, Agreed. JM> but I *BUY* a car as much for its looks as for its ability to get me JM> around. You talked about a Ferrari, and Italian designers. Being European, I can assure you Italian cars _stink_, they rust once you put your sweaty feet in them. Ferrari is Italian. JM> Don't you? No, I buy a car (analog: SW) to get me from A to B. It must do the essential job, looks is second place when choosing between equal competitors. That's, for instance, why I use Mozilla Firefox, which uses standards, and not M$-browser-shit.

JM> No. My, looks like you'r referring to an item listed in a release that has been mostly dedicated to bug-fixing. I guess most of us (...) are happy this release was dedicated to that. >> But also please try to refrain from insulting two of my oldest friends on >> this list.
