Are you totally stupid? Do you think this kind of idiocy has any chance? Do you simply assume free software users will start paying for cheaply made, poorly running software because a few short sited companies are pushing W3C? If commercial organisations wish to persue their own, closed technologies, with a view to having them accepted as a de facto standard, that is very much up to them. And if we as users want to tell them to f off we will! If their work is not good enough to be adopted without the backing of an organisation such as the W3C, then it is not appropriate for the W3C to engage in assisting them achieve this market dominance. If wish to be a standards then try to represent the people those standards can benifit. If you wish to be a toy for big companies to screw over open software then atleast put that in your objectives statement. -- "Doing my part to piss off the religious right." shane
