now who is being ridiculous?


I don't know about Linux, but Firefox is a great browser. Does that
make me an "apologist" (in the word of the first poster, who I've
evidently put in my kill file, since I didn't see the post)?

What's the difference between an apologist and a fan?

I can see how someone who defended Internet Explorer might be an
apologist, since there are many of us who detest the browser (and
Microsoft) and so IE is under attack, but I don't understand how
liking an alternative requires an apology. It's better, that's all. I
don't apologize for that; I feel good about it!
