Re: [Lynx-dev] about user agent headers

[Karen Lewellen]

Travis,
it  may be so that I could do this, but I have no desire to do this.
I pay two companies good money to maintain the stability of my services. 
the last thing I wish to do is risk damaging that functionality by 
tampering with the foundational file of the browser I use countless times 
a day.
That is me, I respect those who are programmers at heart, but I am not one 
of them.
Besides, Rudy illustrated that I will not gain my single goal by taking 
these steps.
Certainly, I might pay a programmer good money to build a current Lynx for 
DOS  package, allowing me to run Lynx from my desktop, and giving me a 
personal
 lynx.cft that way.
Otherwise, I prefer leaving things as  they are here.

  Kare
