This shouldn't be an issue

ropeguru Premium join:2001-01-25 Bridgeport, WV clubs: ·VOIPo	reply to Jeremy341 Re: This shouldn't be an issue BUt in the current posts, as they are right now, combine the sig with the avatar and you can immediately see why it was taken the way it was. When the sig says "I do not trust Firefox. Spread anything besides that horrid piece of crap." and the avatar states to "Spread the world's most popular browser", one can see just how easy it is to link the two.

birdfeedr Premium,MVM join:2001-08-11 Warwick, RI ·Verizon FIOS	reply to Steve said by Steve : Why do this? He likes one browser, you like another: why make it a religious war? ...neither the posting tag nor avatar you were responding to are preserved over time, so if either one of them changes eventually, your flame will be seen as devoid of any context whatsoever. I thought he was responding (admittedly off-topic) to the sig, which is permanent (unless it's edited later to remove the context). Besides, with some it is a religious war as far as Microsoft is concerned. Of course the irony here is that Jeremy speaks of Sunbelt: "They're just being greedy, and attempting to cash in on this publicity." Many would agree that Microsoft is in this same category of corparate behavior. Hey, all they're trying to do (Sunbelt) is make a few bucks. Said elsewhere, accurately, "Pot. Kettle. Black."

bmn ? ? ? Premium,ExMod 2003-06 join:2001-03-15 hiatus	reply to Jeremy341 Hardly... They are simply attempting to protect their intellectual property rights... They've already invested quite a bit in to this project and apparently are making money off of it. If that's the case, you can't blame them for trying to protect that investment. Now, where I have heard that come from before?... -- FINALLY its on DVD! Viva La Fee' Verte!

Maybe they would, maybe they wouldn't. But that's not what's at issue here, so it really doesn't matter what Microsoft would do.

Sunbelt is just going for a payday on the wings of some publicity or a judge that's about as informed as alien9999999. Leave it to some idiot company to try to ruin something that could be good. I was anxious to see what came of this great tool after Microsoft got hold of it. Now I guess I'll have forgotten about it by the time the courts finish dragging their asses on it. And if some other company had bought something that Microsoft had a stake in, Microsoft wouldn't do the same thing??

Jeremy341 Bye Premium join:2000-01-06 localhost	Microsoft has already said that they'd provide definition updates to Sunbelt for the remainder of the contract term, but apparently that's not good enough for them. They're just being greedy, and attempting to cash in on this publicity. -- I do not trust Firefox. Spread anything besides that horrid piece of crap.
