Firefox flamers....

Some guy called "bgmikejr" posted a flood of messages to microsoft.public.internetexplorer.general containing the following text:

"I have a fix for all IE1-7 issues click on the link below:

http://www.mozilla.com

Enjoy!!!!!! "

Methinks the Mozilla and Firefox fans are seriously worried about the competition promised by IE7.

Y'know, at neowin.net such behaviour is specifically forbidden:

My attitude?  I just wish the Firefox trolls would offer intelligent conversation - something that makes me think me about what they're saying.  Oh, hang on, the guy isn't actually saying anything of any technical value.  Pure trolling.

Everyone has their drooling fanboys.

Remember that there are significantly many people out there who will say, as you do, "if the best they can say in advertising their software is 'Firefox r00lz', then I'll stick with what I have already".

I used to read Nic Petreley's Open Source column in InfoWorld - mainly to see how many words he could write before putting the name "Microsoft". If you can only proffer Linux as a solution because it isn't Microsoft, you haven't told me what it _is_, or why I should think about using it.

I've used firefox/netscape since late 1998 to this day, for anything involving information I don't want others to see, like email, and banking, and IE (including to 7 beta) for general surfing, I like that microsoft has borrowed the tabs feature from netscape. It is one of the best functions the browser has, I use both, now. Just wish I could get rid of microsoft's security setting bar at the top. I set my internet settings in the browsers to the lowest settings, and allow my personal software to protect me (far better, with out blocking things I want avalable).

Do mail me-- nitinthewiz @ gmail.com

Because My IE7 doesn't just crash on its own... It crashes my VISTA with it too. So if you think you're smart enough to handle that, mail me and we can have a chat. Else, well, You're have ANOTHER Vista user shifting COMPLETELY to Firefox...
