Two years ago I ported Opera for OS3.1 but forgot to mention it. Maybe amiga-news.de will pick this up and add it as a news item too!

This sarcasm wasn't aimed at you. If you go to www.amiga-news.de you'll see they've posted a "Mozilla for Amiga" thread based on this comment made in passing in this thread, which isn't even about Mozilla. This is totally ridiculous.

Just because you might be a twisted little lazy sod doesn't mean everyone else is.

Everyone who hasn't tried to port Mozilla is a twisted little lazy sod? I don't think so. The scale of the project is so enormous it just even adds more a ridiculous spin to the fact above for any person or group to claim that they'll port it to OS4. Save your insults for someone who's more naîve. It usually works.

It's not as if I haven't mentioned it over the last two years or anything!

My understanding of the Mozilla on Amiga project is that it failed miserably, with no progress at all being made (apart from getting a mention of Amiga on mozilla.org). Are you saying you've suddenly got to it work?

[KennyR]

LOL so basically you are saying that the sarcasm wasn't aimed at me - and then you say the job is too big for any one person to make progress on it

Both statements are true.

I will help Downix and others as much as possible but you are a clear example of why I felt it wasn't worth the bother.

Don't try to pass this off on me. I'm sure you can find some other excuse - a true one would be nice, such as you needed support for porting it and didn't get any.

Riiiight so if the sarcasm wasn't directed at me why did you post it here and not on Amiga-news.de?

Two answers:

1. I can read German but not write it very well.

2. There is a link from there right to this page. I meant for the people coming here to see the fact that that the amiga-news item was basically BS. That actually would benefit you - now they can't fairly accuse you of FUD when they discover some weeks down the line it was amiga-news' mistake and not yours.

"excuse" WTF are you talking about? Did you hire me to do this? I have put my reasons above, do not try to oversimplify them.

Blaming me (who has nothing to do with the Mozilla project whatsoever) is not an excuse? I didn't criticise you at the time for trying. I'm not criticising you for not suceeding now. Why do you feel you have to try to say I somehow demotivated you?

Oh Im *soooo* sorry I didn't carry on working on it to get it to the state where it was a viable branch.

You don't have to apologise to me or to anyone (not even sarcastically). As I said (and I'll repeat it) I'm not blaming you for not completely porting it, I'm not even accusing you of claiming you completely ported it!

You are a case in point as to why people get put off.

I don't accept your blame. People get more put off when they are told something will happen when it won't. The Amiga-news.de mistake is an example.

@DaveP

No problem. There was misunderstanding, you got angry, I got angry, and hell, this kind of thing happens. I'm sorry, since my original post was more than a little cynical and badly focused. I accept your apology and hope you accept mine.
