Completely true. There have been given all sorts of stupid remarks
and "reasons" why "Mozilla Firebird" or "Firebird" for the browser
"would be fine", well, lots of crap of course, mostly by Mozilla

and helpful but most of them didn't see a problem either. Apparently,
this has changed a little... we'll see, we'll see.
