   Hold on there Peter.   
      
   On second thought, he's right.   
      
   Netscape was showing some degree of malice and deception by altering   
   their corporate policy the way their press releases indicated.   
      
   Sure, it happened years ago, but that doesn't make it any less   
   relavent if we're talking about Netscape's history, or their planning   
   or business strategy when they were getting off the ground.
