Netscape 8 - Setting the browser back two years

Could someone in the Cinci area with a blunt object stop over at Clint's and help him Kill Himself. He's witnessed the new and improved, shiny, senseless, stupid, Netscape 8.0 User Interface.

So here's the story as I understand it. Netscape/AOL took Firefox and rebranded it, which was expected. What wasn't expected was that they completely reverse every single usability refinement the Firefox developers have been working on over the past two years. This is just completely crazy. I'm all shock and awe over here.

I might have expected this around 2000, when shiny was all that mattered but we've grown since then. The whole premise behind Firefox was to cut away the fat and shiny stuff that grew on the Mozilla base over years of being controlled by a clueless marketing department. How is it that this was completely lost on the AOL/Netscape folks?

People don't want more, they want less.

Anyway, this one is going down in net history so I had to get a mention in for the archives.
