Like the original Netscape (Mozzilla) MS war...(and it was bloody, and it was was awful, and the smell of rotting corpses were hidden in the eromatic-spiced-censors of the fed)

Currently, especially, but also (since, and before big-name engines went public) there is a battle of the BOTS -

My recent experiences with FireFox requesting server priviages moves its architecture into LimeWire, Napster, ad-server, x-slime, etc. etc.

In my opinion, most ISP users should ALL be sent a little, monthly "BUG" for them to work-out and defuse.....consider it an IQ test....or a surfing Mr. Gore's "information super-hyway" SoBrieTy tEst. <[p>

The heartland of the net still exists .... it just isn't where it was three - five - seven years ago.

Sincerely,
