David is a pretty astute user. If you can't handle him how do you ever expect this version of KDE to survive in the real world?
perhaps my attempt at humor didn't make sense, was only understandable to my own mind. what i was trying to say is that the attitude david sometimes shows when criticizing KDE 3 -> KDE 4 development puts me off--and i imagine it puts developers off a lot more than me. on the other hand, he knows a lot and uses that knowledge to help others. he also seems to be making his peace withKDE 4 slowly, which brought that comparision to a grumpy old man to my mind who easily shouts, but doesn't really mean to be mean or angry; it's just the way he expresses his opinion. from what i've read from him i do respect him, and also some of his criticism of new development makes sense. only the way he sometimes brings it up isn't very helpful for his cause. others who hold the same opinion will readily agree, but those who spend their time developing all the new (and maintaining the old) stuff won't easily be tempted to listen to what he has to say, because they're put off by his grumpyness. i didn't mean any offense to david and hope he didn't read it that way. -- phani. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
