Java is another thing I can easily do without. As long as the people on the 
other end are free to do far more serious things than crash Netscape/2, that 
is not likely to change.
When enabling Java, the most important question one can ask him/herself is 
"how much do I trust the people on the other end". If you're *absolutely* 
certain that they have no intention of doing something you'd rather not have 
them do, enable Java.  If not...
