RE: Troll!: >>...Let's all go over to Firefox and let that be the new attack vector of choice!...<<

That would be kinda stupid, don't you think. Far better if SOME went to Firefox and SOME went to Mozilla and SOME went to Netscape and SOME went to Galeon and SOME went to Konqueror and SOME went to Epiphany and SOME went to Opera... Harder to hit one of a lot of moving targets then it is to hit one that is standing still.; Posted by: richdave Posted on: 03/31/06 You are currently: a Guest | Members login | Terms of Use
