Actually, it might be best to just stop with all of the complaints about individual companies here? I do not think there IS a company that does not have both good and bad examples of their behavior. Can we just get back to the business of standards here and leave the rest of the discussion to alt.microsoft.sucks, alt.ibm.sucks.too and all of the other places where this sort of nonsense is welcome? Misha, I think this whole thread makes for a good argument against cross-posting between public and private lists -- it simply creates too much noise.
