Netscape 7.0.
Somebody else posted it that way a few weeks ago and I pointed it out and got flamed for being and idiot who didnt' know what Molon Labe was.
Of course if I knew that MWLWN LABE was intended to be then of course I must know what MOLON LABE means.
That feller is the same type who gives new shooters stupid looks and smart ass comments at the range and gun shop.

I hear you. And that same feller usually can't keep 'em on the paper himself. I find that one of the most frustrating things about the 'net is that people do tend to be abusive who would never mouth off like that face to face. No honor there.
Netscape 7, hmmm? I'm running Internet Exploder 5.5 on a Win NT 4 box, and all is well there.

Of course if I knew that MWLWN LABE was intended to be then of course I must know what MOLON LABE means. I think "MOLON LABE" is a Greek expression, spelled mu omega lamba omega nu lamda alpha beta epsilon; in the symbol font the poster used (which is on my machine, if not yours) most of the Greek leters correspond to their translated equivalents except that omega is located under "W". Perhaps the person was writing it that way to be cute, but if that is the correct spelling of the Greek expression I can't particularly fault someone for spelling it correctly (with omegas rather than omicrons, if that's how it's spelled).
