Paranoia...they are doing, if you had stopped listening to what others

Yes, I saw that script when it first came out.  Old news.

And you'll encounter the same security problems with any language that
has access to your computer, twit.  Even Java, which is supposedly
safe, has major security concerns, which I am not informed enough to
discuss.

I boot once a day, only because I turn my computer off at night.
Win95 is unstable?

Only reason I use Netscape Navigator is because most everyone still
writes for it.  Too bad they don't write for the HTML standard

My feeling is that this is a bunch of people who don't know what
they're talking about at the level they're trying to argue on...
