Still on the theme of unfounded paranoid tendencies, America Online is removing a feature in Netscape because of pressure from customers regarding the potential use and abuse of support-related information being transferred between parties. My opinion is that the removal of the feature is not specifically to placate the frothing privacy-concerned masses, but is being pushed through mainly to substantiate another dot release of the Netscape software, thereby making it appear like the product is still being actively developed.
