LOL. With this forgery you sent xln 3(!) places down the list! ;-)

There are other entries I can't place. And - coming to this - there will
be many duplicates out of <not set> and <others>, too. Hamster will not
read itself, either.

You will have noticed the sorting order by invisible 'super-classes':

Originally, I compacted jo's list because I wondered, if Mozilla would
beat OE this way. It does not, unfortunately. But the Forte readers
came out one place higher than I expected at first glance. And the
40tude Dialog reader (which I use) does also remarkably well.
