Hands up if you listened to it on the radio before reading the books?
Okay, not me - but I have since and you should give it a go. I've got a big old tape box set of the original radio series' and it's a joy. Was going to upgrade to CD but I think it's been discontinued. Bah!
I was trying to send off the petition but couldn't find my country - unless I'm willing to accept that I now live in Island, and not Ireland as I previously thought.
Another victory for spellchecking software perhaps, or just ignorance? Call me a picky bastard, and you'd be right.
This discussion isn't about Netscape Mail, it's about Mozilla Thunderbird - making almost all of your tirade invalid.
One of the reasons the Mozilla Firebird and Mozilla Thunderbird projects were started was to concentrate on usability, getting rid of all the extra features which make Moz great for/. readers but not for granny-on-the-telephone.
Specifically Mozilla Thunderbird doesn't have the buttons you're ranting about for your entire post.
There are sure to be other annoyances but this is only a 0.1 release - usability is only going to improve. People I know who have seen Thunderbird find it very easy to use and tend to switch. Do us all a favour and stop recommending IE/OE

Vindicated!
