I'm surprised there hasn't been more response to this (or my post on the
same subject). Does anybody really want Netscape getting this much power
over what sites get seen? I mean, currently, you can't even submit a URL to
Netcenter. Netscape taking this much control seems contradictory to the
open nature of the Internet. But hardly a peep out of this list.
