Re: Keeping an eye on Opera

I have a suspicion Opera might be made into a textbook on how not to do things. Trashing the browser and getting rid of much of the community can't help but make for rough sledding, if not the outright ending, of the browser and the company.
Leushino's constant commenting that spam is the reason for dumping the community doesn't wash in light of the fact that other companies deal with the spam problem without throwing up their hands and closing shop. That, as much as anything, makes me think we're not looking at a high-tech leader half so much as we're looking at guys messing around in their garage on their hobby. Get an idea they think is cool, put it together for an upgrade cycle, get bored with it and dump it within two upgrade cycles--- that's the way to make a browser power users would want to use, eh?
