It's been gently pointed out to me that I should NOT have requested 
expressions of support over in alt.config, that is just for discussion 
of the proposal(s), not "me too" posts.

It's also suggested to call any new group "alt.comp.mozilla.firefox" 
instead of "alt.comp.software.firefox"

another user has suggested a similar group for seamonkey which I will 
include (though I have to say m.s.seamonkey looks in a worse state than 
m.s.firefox or m.s.thunderbird)

I do wish we'd had more than a weeks notice of the groups closure!
