hmm - let's see.  At any time did *I* mention money?  I talked about wasted 
time, and Dave Marotti is not paid by the company in any case.

We've been trying to figure this out for weeks, communicating all over the 
place, we initiated all this discussion, the people that did the changes 
are the ones that didn't communicate.  So is this your knee jerk response 
or the honest opinion of the KDE Community?  I'm fighting it at both ends 
here with my developers complaining about the problems and some of you guys 
chewing me out and I'm in the middle.  You guys want our stuff out, 
consider it gone, just say the word.
