You obviously have no sense of humor.

"hitting users with clue-bats" has been a part of computer-science
and computer-engineering lore for decades.

I have more faith in Ron Paul than I do in the KDE's devs (or
those of any other project of similar size) taking an incomplete 
alpha-stage project to release quality in 8 weeks.

It just is NOT going to happen.

"Hey Boss, sorry I didn't come in to work last week... I
was at home trying to get KDE 4 whipped into shape in time
for the SuSE 11.0 release."
