That doesn't mean the suit has no merit. It just means that the side effects of the lawsuits have lots of benefits to Netscape. Not only that, but Netscape would be out of its mind to tie itself too closely to whatever DOJ does, especially with respect to the Consent Decree. What if Netscape comes to be identified with the DOJ antitrust policy and DOJ loses, a not out of the question possibility with respect to the Consent Decree? What if DOJ does something Netscape does not agree with? In my view, Netscape is playing it smart, trying to reap the benefits of the DOJ's actions while keeping enough sunlight between itself and DOJ to avoid getting hit if things go wrong or get out of control. That said, I'd like to see more context on the Homer quote: where and when did he say it, and to whom? Is it reported in a legitimate news source? Until I see this information, I'll take it with a grain of salt.
