To the guys at mozilla: do the right thing. It's too late to bury this.

I imagine this flame can't hurt as bad as the alternate one where people say Mozilla is just flaunting their wrongdoing by not taking the material down, but sheesh!
I find it surprising you would consider my call to Mozilla to "do the right thing" a flame. There was no anger or malice in anything I said, just a desire for someone at Mozilla to say "we are working with MetaLabs to sort out this issue". (I say all of this as a supporter of Mozilla, and a long-time user of the Mosaic-Netscape-Firefox browsers.)
"We are working with MetaLabs to resolve the issue" would have been a perfectly fine public response. It would have made Mozilla's intentions clear, without piling on any new mistakes.
(BTW I find it interesting that people are yelling at me about jumping to conclusions, while themselves jumping to conclusions about me jumping to conclusions.)
I said they had a choice, and urged them to make the right one.
Until MetaLabs finally communicated what had happened, the scenario was ambiguous. IMO, Mozilla could have eliminated the ambiguity much sooner simply by saying "we are working with MetaLabs to resolve this."
