You know, I think maybe you need to direct some hate at your highly
customised BSD.

Because while I have my own bitches with Mozilla (spaghetti
inheritence makes old fashioned assembly-style spaghetti Fortran
look EASY) I don't have that kind of a problem on FreeBSD 4 or
Windows NT 5.

Not that your basic "why do browsers suck" rant is wrong, it'd just
be a bit better focussed if it was focussed on more mass-market
suck rather than your boutique incompatible environment suck.
