No. No. No. When I said... 'Mr. David Tenser... you are full of it, sir. That is a pure line of complete and utter bullshit and you know it.'... I meant that what your you were trying to get at with that email was bullshit.

I did not mean that I did not believe you got the email... I meant the point your were trying to make with it was bullshit. And it is... bullshit.

However, after re-reading this:

"The plan ever since the name needed to change has always been to use Mozilla Browser in the end"

I would call that a lie. Unless, of course, you are merely echoing what someone else told you... in that case, then they'd be lying.

> The plan _has_ been to call it Mozilla Browser, and I already _did_ agree with you that the announcement wasn't the best.

You're missing the mark again. You're trying to put it off as though the announcement itself was at fault... a giant typographical error, so to speak. It wasn't. The announcement accurately reflected the state of reality regarding the naming of Phoenix. The gross lies come in when Mozilla.org later claims that when the Firebird name was announced on April 14th.... it was meant as the project name only, with Mozilla Browser being the real name. That is pure bullshit. A despicable lie ponied up in an effort to save their sorry faces.
