#59638 Posted on: 02/25/2005 05:35 PM I don't think it really is a "problem" since whatever that google thing does only happens if the user manually clicks a toolbar button. It's not as if it does everything automatically as Microsoft I think it was wanted to do some years ago. Of course, this won't stop the madcaps of the internet from bitching and moaning, but facts are, a person is entitled to do whatever he wants to the data coming into his system, including inserting hyperlinks where there were previously none. Hen out of a feather, IMO.
