Hat tip to JesseR for pointing out that Paul Festa is known in the Mozilla community for writing inaccurate cnet articles bashing Mozilla. Here’s one from May 2000 where he completely mischaracterizes Rob Ginda’s work. He in fact doesn’t have “ties” to jabber.org, and despite that Chatzilla doesn’t compete with AIM and ICQ because it’s an IRC client not an instant messaging system, Festa tries his best to portray Ginda as an “enemy within”. Perhaps Festa should have a chat with Mike Angelo? They could swap ideas.
