The debian-private mailing list leak, part 1. Volunteers have complained about Blackmail. Lynchings. Character assassination. Defamation. Cyberbullying. Volunteers who gave many years of their lives are picked out at random for cruel social experiments. The former DPL's girlfriend Molly de Blanc is given volunteers to experiment on for her crazy talks. These volunteers never consented to be used like lab rats. We don't either. debian-private can no longer be a safe space for the cabal. Let these monsters have nowhere to hide. Volunteers are not disposable. We stand with the victims.

This is important.

Netscape is not done by Microsoft - it's done by Netscape.  Internet
Explorer (netscape's main competition) is done by Microsoft - and it's
not at all likely that Microsoft will make linux binaries available. 
Netscape's really being pretty cool about that.

IE, if we kill off netscape, Microsoft will have an much stronger
death-grip on the industry.

Netscape works very well for me under debian, now that I started using
gnumalloc.so (the package should provide this), altho I didn't use the
debian netscape package.  I no longer recall what the problem was I had
with the debian package.

Without a strong netscape, the "network computer" coalition would be
severely weakened.  Also, netscape is a very strong proponent of
standards-based computing, unlike microsoft.

Netscape on linux counts in the survey's talling MSIE vs. netscape
users, because the surveys just inspect information returned by the
browser to the server; this is one time polls aren't slanted against
linux for being non-commercial.
