Quite
It's called 'denying the antecedent.' It's a logical fallacy. That's part of the reason the joke's so funny.

I use Firefox, although I'm unhappy about it not being OSX native. it doesn't support the Services menu, which is a drag. I do like it other than that, especially some of the add-ons, like the RSS reader (Sage) and a little weather thing in the bookmark bar. it also seems a touch faster than Safari.
I actually like Camino better, but it has some funny screen-drawing issues, so I haven't used it in a while.

You kniw, except foir the Descarte part of this, Not a bit of this thread has made any sense to me than Horace in the original does.
Who'da thunk I'd prefer Descarte before the Horace?

do you use the Firefox extension that lets you select "open this page in I.E." from the right-click menu?
Nope. Wasn't aware of it. Sounds handy.

I for one would like to see the whole joke. There must be a punch line.

AnnaS,
Don't know about the shaggy dog story, just the "I think" bit.

>the whole joke http://wordsmith.org/board/showthreaded.pl?Cat=&Board=wordplay&Number=137387btw, thanks to those who've responded in regard to firefox. I'm told that, in essence, it's really just the next generation of (Mozilla's) Netscape. it appears now to be a lot less hacked than IE -- but just give the hackers some reason to hack (i.e., more visibility).
