Since this was directed to Mathew, my resume isn't on the net and my
career was in the Chemical Industry, not the computer industry. But
serving the customer is still the priority. My resume would be on file
at RedHat were I worked, hired by Bob Young. I sold millions a year for
the likes of Sysco Foods and Kraft. 

I perceive that a majority on the Fedora list appear to use KDE more
than Gnome and have said so on the FC list. I didn't like the Stallman
style politics that were waged against KDE from the get-go, back when.
It put off a bunch of people. Now you're objectifying me, as I work with
former addicts of all kinds and you seem to want to put it on the street
that I use... which I don't and never have. Some of my best friends have
used, and I call them my Brothers because they acknowledged and took
responsibility for their addictions. To suggest that anyone use is
nothing short of inhumane and criminal. Same old Gnome style bullshit
that just further alienates me from the "Gnome Crowd", if this is any
representative sample of the average Gnome Contributor mindset. You just
made my point for me.

Yeah, check out my linux user number, I've been around for a long time
and worked for Red Hat, where my cube was only several away from
Mathew's. As far as insulting me personally, which I didn't you, drop on
by Siler City NC. My personal biz is always conducted up close and
personal. It has to be with the crowd I hang with, just out of prison
and trying to make a return to "Polite Society" to the likes of people
with a fly mouth and zero empathy. I can say I don't like Gnome all damn
day if I chose, but I don't know you to insult you. But, if you want to
make the issue personal, let's get up close and personal. We can get a
freak on, real fast. I personally think Gnome as a project and as an
ideology sucks. It's a personal opinion and doesn't necessarily reflect
on your skills.
