Heh, heh, heh, heh ;-)....... God it's good, and productive, to have a good
debate return to the list.

        I can't think of a better example of this than the "accidentally on 
purpose"
compiling apps in the *KDE3* /backports repository like kdiff3 and others
against the kde4 base -- and then refusing to correct the "accident."

        Some of the developers obviously think the members of this list are 
pretty
darn stupid. You know, "You can fool some of the people most of the time, but
you can't fool all of the people all of the time...."

        And the way it's done, just kind of leaves a bad taste in your mouth... 
But
that's just my option of course.
