The ZDNet Anchor Desk has just started a petition to send to Microsoft &
Netscape to outline what is going wrong with their browsers. You may also
attach your own comments to the petition.

Make-A-Difference
Jesse Berst, Editorial Director

Sometimes you have to stand up and be counted. If you believe in the vision of
a single, global Internet, this is one of those times. Fortunately, it's
easier than ever. In fact, it will take you only 30 seconds to make a
difference.
The Internet is at risk of being splintered by the battle between Microsoft
and Netscape. In an effort to get both companies to do the right thing,
AnchorDesk is introducing its first Make-A-Difference (MAD) petition. If you
agree with the position outlined below, please take a moment to electronically
sign and (optionally) leave your comments. We will keep the petition live
until May 9th, after which we will deliver it in person to Microsoft and
Netscape.

I believe some points of view can be sounded through this.
