Mozilla Reponds - We Call the Shots, Not Google. 222
An anonymous reader writes "Recent articles in the New York Times and at CNET have highlighted the growing concern that Google holds significant power and influence over Firefox's development. In an interview published today, Mozilla's technology strategist Mike Shaver did his best to proclaim Mozilla's independence. Yes, Google pays Mozilla $56 million per year, Google is the default search engine, and supplier of many of the browser's features (anti-phishing, anti-malware, incorrect URL resolution). Shaver insists that in spite of these ties, Mozilla still calls the shots over Firefox's development."

Everyone knows the root of reponds is pond, which is a body of water, often man-made, smaller than a lake.
We also know that bodies of water reflect light off their surface, and further, we know that to reflect means to consider.
To pond is to consider.
A ponder is one who considers.
To repond is to reconsider.
Reponds means reconsiders.
Perhaps you'd like to repond your assumption that reponds is not a perfectly cromulent word?
