C'mon Anton you can do better

I know you are fishing or trollin' and I am bored and disabled this weekend so here goes.

"The learning curve is a problem"

Are you telling us that you learned IE or Windows for that matter by osmosis? Remember how you learned to use those. The same princible applies here. It is a matter of "want to". Most people I know that have tried Firefox and returned to IE with the learning curve excuse simply do not want to take the time to learn. They are product branded and that is that.

"Very few people I encounter have used FireFox, and the way I often find out they have is when they ask me how to change, shut off, or obtain some feature. When I tell them I don't know I feel I've escaped being helpful. All I do know is there are plug-ins to sort through and preferences to read."

Here Anton expand your horizons so that you may be of service to more than just the Windows community.

"But, of course, if they want that functionality on Internet Explorer I can tell them how to get it quickly and easily, free programs that have been honed and improved for years.
Some drop FireFox at that point, and no one has reported a solution to his question back to me."

Read the Firefox newsgroups and you will quickly find out what extensions do what and what problems have or HAVE NOT occured. You know this as well as I do.

"At any rate, I think FireFox would benefit from a site which sorts out and tests and documents the options thoroughly."

Ya know I stayed away from Linux for a long time because I let some puke bubble kid run me off. Even from bassholes sometimes wisdom comes through. I posted a question on a linux group his was the first reply. "Hey NOOB, Google is your friend and do a search of the forum before posting a question." That highy urinated me off and I swore off ever using Linux. I lied. Point is Google is your friend (but you knew that didn't ya?)

You are branded to Internet Explorer and it sounds to me so are the "Very few people (you)encounter have used FireFox". You must have a very small circle of acquaintences. I could care less what you use or anyone else for that matter. Your parting paragraph is so bogus it borders on pathetic. You sound like a conspiracey theorist. I have read many of your posts and you just don't seem like that type. Maybe you just felt like trolling ehhh?
