Good one! Now that you mention it, I *haven't* yet seen those cartoons
yet. I need to spend some time this morning searching for them on the
Net because I forgot about them.

The premise for your response is flawed. No one (including Mozilla) has
ever said or implied that Mozilla was a charity organization. Mozilla
gives away some of its products for free and made a profit somewhere
else without asking for compensation for the gifts. Expressing thanks
for free gifts is not implying nor inferring that the source was a
charity.

If I may ask: What exactly has Mozilla done to motivate this response?
I mean, if they are stealing someone else's operating system while
lobbying in Congress for tougher anti-piracy laws; or running
competitors out of the commercial market by bundling competing software
with their operating systems and signing exclusivity contracts with
hardware retailers---or something along those lines---then you have a
legitimate reason to blow the Caps-Lock text...
