Please don't do that on the main KDE list.  It's bad enough we have ~200
messages a day when most of them are technical in nature "KDE won't
compile
on RedHat 5.1".  Discussing technical maters ( like weather Kpanel is
fatter 
than Gpanel is fine.  However simple sarcastic flaming like this is not 
good.  Especially when one of the more popular KDE developers is also a 
Gnome developer and now works at Redhat and another is #2 or #3 on the 
list of Linux Kernel developers.  With that sort of thing in mind how
can
you reasonably insult them ?  Better to relax and let other people
insult
all the developers on both teams.  I respect anyone who can write better
code than I do and they must DO something moronic to make me think 
otherwise.
