   I'm asking *this newsgroup*.   
      
   I'm asking because there were claims made here that Netscape 4.x has   
   vulnerabilities.   
      
   You've made the claim that it has *dozens* of vulnerabilities.  Why   
   are you reluctant to point to a source describing them?   
      
   > Why don't you go to the CERT sites and look them up?   
      
   You could do the same and post the resulting URL's.

   Why would anyone get rid of old documents or web-content?   
      
   It costs essentially nothing to archive old material and make them   
   available on the net.  Be they old usenet postings, old versions of   
   entire web sites or URL's, etc.   
      
   Your continued references to netscape being out-of-support is   
   specious.  I am not arguing about or questioning it's support status.   
      
   I am seeking information regarding vulnerabilities it was known to   
   have - or claimed to have.

   Your statement is nothing but heresay unless you can provide some   
   shread of evidence for these vulnerabilities.   
      
   Even just a basic description or title or name of one vulnerability   
   would provide a starting point for a web search.

   > and any vulnerabilities will not be addressed.   
      
   I am not arguing or discussing those points.   
      
   Why do you keep bringing them up?   
      
   > Whether or not they affect Netscape Communicator 4x is unknown,   
   > because no one is testing it any longer!   
      
   So you are speculating that 4.x has vulnerabilities - as I thought.   
      
   Just a lot of hot air from you.
