Jorge,
I apogogize to you to you, Mr. Moore, and the entire list for
expressing what was best kept to myself. I have been a linux user
since 1995 and have contributed to linux by way of programming
skills as much as possible.
I don't, however, have anything detrimental to say about kde. In
fact one of my dearest friends is a kde programmer ( gee, from SuSE
7.0 days) who wrote a book available in Europe about KDE. It's just
that I take offense easily to those who don't contribute bashing
those who do, whether it's gnome, kde or whatever.
Anyway, I'm truly sorry for the upset I've caused.

Regards,
ded
