i have no problem with that, but i also understand how developrs can get upset at the not-so-friendly tone you sometimes use. they are spending their time developing what we are using, and sometimes you really don't sound as if you appreciated that. i'm pretty sure that impression is wrong, but that isn't always clear from some of your posts.
Oh, they know I'm on their side and support them 100%, but sometimes the truth hurts. As I've written before on more than one occasion, had the role out of kde4 been approached been handled differently, I don't think we would have such sensitivity about the issue. Now you also have to ask yourself why anybody on the 'openSuSE' list might be so sensitive to 'tongue-in-cheek' comments made about kde developers anyway. Do we seem to have a proportionally greater percentage of devs on this list than other distros? If so why? Could that be related to the discussion in paragraph 1 as well? I do have to chuckle a bit on my veranda though. Maybe there is some cultural sensitivity attached to the word putz that I don't appreciate or maybe ( I seriously doubt it) somebody took the suggested fate for the original naming or approving seriously. (Although Texas is in a bit of hot water at this point for potentially have executed the first provenly innocent man.) If however putz is a bad word in some cultures, well -- I apologize for not having recognized that.
