For me, the alarming fact is that this "privacywise" option was not the firs one chosen. Instead, they went with a "privacyunwise" option as a default, and only backed out because of user uproar. Bad Mozilla!

Sounds like a variation on Ayn Rand's "contradictions do not exist, if you think you see one, check your premises, some of them will be wrong".

Hopefully he doesn't also think that a totem pole is a guy from Poland who looks after a totem. :-)
