The company Netscape (owned by AOL) makes a software *suite* called 
Netscape Communicator, the browser is Navigator, the email client is 
Messenger.  Just because some computer illiterate people call the browser 
by the company name instead of the browser name doesn't mean all people are 
automatically referring to the browser piece only when using the term Netscape.

Sneering that someone is using a piece of software differently from what 
you think is best - while posting a message totally unrelated to the 
subject line you used - is much like living in a glass house.  Be careful 
of rocks.
