    My friend, I who started this list have shut up quite some time ago. If
    you will read my original post, you will see that I asked two very
    pointed questions:

    %------------------------------------------------------------------------
    1. Should I file an enhancement bug with Mozilla?

    2. if I hit reply-to-all, the message gets addressed to the original
    sender, but it cc-s to the list. Does this cause the original sender to
    get two copies of my reply?
    %------------------------------------------------------------------------

    I found out the answer to question 1 myself, later. It was reported back
    on 2000-07-17 as bug #45715. I've got answers to question 2 long ago
    back on this thread. The other mails were not requested by me from the
    other users, but sent of their own free will. Please do not blame me if
    a thread escalates into proportions I certainly did not intend it to. I
    am not responsible for other people voicing their opinions on some topic
    related to my thread.

    I'm sorry if I started a sensitive issue (I didn't realize it was), but
    I certainly did nothing to inflame it, as your mail history will show,
    so please do not reprimand me for being a "Windows mole" or tell me to
    "shut up". Calling a person who wants to learn to operate Linux and is
    understandably (at least to some people) finding some difficulties with
    it a "Windows mole" is not helping me transiting to Linux. AFAIR nobody
    on any other forum insulted me for my disabilities, and I *accept* that
    being stuck with Windows for some thing is a disability.

    Can you fix my modem problem? I reported it back on this very same list
    at 2005-08-10 20:58:18 CEST. If you can do that, that will help me shift
    to Linux for 75% of my needs. Right now I've set GRUB to default-boot to
    Windows simply because I can't access the net and my mail from Linux. If
    you can help me solve that problem then you are helping me with Linux.
    Calling me a Windows mole will not help me with Linux.

    Here Peter is labouring under the assumption that I have ever suggested
    that anything is wrong with this list. If Peter will re-read the two
    pointed questions I made (quoted above) then Peter will realize that I
    have not complained about this list in any way.

    Thank you all, for your cooperation.
