I didn't remove the breaks/space from the message.
It was not that way when I sent it.
something else did that.
I have reformatted it and resent it.
And here it is.
Hopefully the same thing will not happen again.
If you are getting tired of this thread, I can't blame you.
Otherwise, if you respond, it will be well taken.

It would be a bold statement, if I had said Google has too much control overin 
ternet traffic. That is why I wrote "I think they have too much control over 
internet traffic." When I say "I think," that means that it is my opinion. If it is 
my opinion, then is is subjective. It is subject to my opinion, and it is subject 
to the opinions of other's. It is not an absolute statement. When I say, "I think," 
it also suggests that my opinion is subject to change. The fact that my opinion 
of Google had been influenced, and improved by their efforts to release Chrome 
in open source, was the whole point of my little statement in the beginning. 
Therefore, if you leave outkey words "I think," that convey the sense of what I 
am saying, then you are miscontrueing my statement.

I'm not saying that at all. I'm saying that someone, not necessarily firefox, 
may be interestedin puttings some plugins into Chrome. (I don't even know 
if that is possible)I have heard in this thread people say that some people like 
firefox's plug-ins. But that is just an example.My real point is that it must 
change. The code will invariably evolve. Regardless of what the change is, 
it will change

An assimilagtion is a change. One type of change is like what Google 
Chromeattempts to do. They are attempting to change, in large part, 
the philosophy of web browsing.Another type of change is when you 
change, and/or improve code, a little here and a little there,and yet 
another type of change is assimilation. If you make a statement and 
you want to specify which type of change you are referring to, then 
you must define it. On the other hand,if don't define what type of 
change you are referring to, then the default meaning of change 
includes all types of change. When I used the word change, I was 
referring to any type of change.
