Thanks for your support

I find it odd that Peter claims that AOL does not mess with the Internet part of Windows. This has been proven time and time again that it indeed does.

AOL has been wishy washy over Open Source before. As you said they did toy with the idea of an OSS AOL client.

But give credit where it is due, the Mozilla project is going quite nicely. The one thing that AOL/Netscape has done well with open source.
