It holds for everything, but Netscape 4.x is not only incompatible with W3C standards, but it is also just plain broken in many ways. It crashes mysteriously or hangs on a fairly regular basis on those hellish occasions when I am forced to use it, for example. > Why then aren't you willing to work around the > problems you are having rather than just complaining > about FreeBSD/KDE/whatever? The mysterious boot, if that is what you have in mind, has not happened again, so there is nothing to work around. As for other problems, that is exactly what I have done, but that has not stopped me from speaking of them. > I really would like to see this thread completely > finished so that this list can get back to what it > used to be used for.

The rather obvious question, of course, is why you are posting to--and thus prolonging--a thread that you find tedious, and that you'd like to see finished. I simply don't read threads that I do not find interesting. It is much more logical and efficient than posting my complaints about their existence to them.
