> Yeah, "Mozilla sucks, Phoenix doesn't amount to more than a wart, ...".

Well, it's good to see that you have come to your senses. How you people can be so arrogant, and exhalt, over such lame products is beyond comprehension. I'm just glad you fella's aren't in the OS business... Jesus, what a mess that would be.

> So why the panic over our use of Firebird?

I would have to say principle in that their playing it safe and being prudent in protecting and safeguarding their brandname they have fostered over the last three years or so.

Outside of that, I have no clue. Quite frankly, if I had a software product called Firebird... and it came to my attention that some clown over at Mozilla.org named one of their shabby products, Firebird... it wouldn't phase or worry me in the least.

> And why does the great msutherland waste his time braying like a jackass about Mozilla?

Are you kidding? And miss out on the opportunity of telling Brendan Eich, the Grand Daddy of JavaScript, what a complete and total mess Mozilla.org has made of themselves? Not in a million years would I miss this.

> Sutherland, haven't you got better things to do?

At the moment, no.

> FirebirdSQL, as in FirebirdSQL.org -- get it?

My apologies. I meant to quote this bit:

"Mozilla has problems" does not mean "FirebirdSQL owns Firebird"
