oh?

was it not a protest of the Vietnam "police action", aka, war?

at least the one to which i reference, by Edwin Starr, appeared
as such to me.

[also, above, i should have used word _start_ instead of _turn_.]

i happen to have 18 active 'extensions', with 3 more disabled until
i need them. plus 8 active 'plugins'.

i dare say that konqueror or rekonq will/would/might come close.

yet, in reality, my point, which one missed, is that when it comes
to web browsers and email clients, it is like baskin-robbins, there
are many choices to make and that choice should be left to user.
not packages that are loaded by default when a new installation is
made.
